It was important to us to make this experience as tranquil as the Great Outdoors itself; to really give the player a sense of the peacefulness found in the game. Each beautiful environment was 100% custom crafted in UE5, with meticulous set dressing and lighting to push the story along. Then extra detail was added to make our world teeming with life - benefiting repeat viewing. (Did you notice the rabbits?)

Our hero is a custom created metahuman, which we animated through a blend of motion capture and hand animation, while each animal features skillfully blended game animations to get them to do what we needed. All this was topped off with a wonderful ambient SFX pass sitting alongside the music.

One final scene was built to serve as the foundation for key art. After constructing and detailing as far as possible, we handed it off to our artists to work up into a marvellous 10K image, ready for large format print, as well as digital marketing use.

All in all, this was an absolute joy to work on.

And breathe.
