Environment Art
MAKE — NEW WORLD
An agile outsource art team embedded with the partner's studio to produce environment and character concept art for live services content.
Concept
New World is an open-world MMO set on the supernatural island of Aeternum, where players carve out a destiny amid danger and opportunity.
Requirement
The partner's studio needed an agile outsource art team to support live services content with environment and character concept art. The studio was still exploratory on live services and continuous delivery, so industry consultancy came with the request.
Approach
The partnerships director worked with the outsource art manager to review the art style coming from the offshore teams and identify a group of outsource artists to embed with the partner.
Growth and training plans were supplied alongside cost projections for the development cycle. The team ran to seven environment artists.
