Art direction for mixed reality games comes with its own set of unique challenges. While there is significant overlap with VR experiences, the introduction of a Player's physical space as part of the game world creates a new collection of constraints and opportunities. Adapted from excerpts from the style guide used for the development of Starship Home, this talk will share how we approached creating a visually striking, creatively enriching game tailored to mixed reality's best qualities. Whether you're an art director or game artist working on your first MR title or simply interested in the intersection of art and emerging technology, you will gain practical insights and inspiration to apply to your own projects.
Attendees will learn problem-solving approaches for creating beautiful, shippable art for mixed reality games, with a particular focus on guiding principles, visual style, cohesion between physical and virtual worlds.
This talk is for anyone interested in art direction, stylized art and the problem solving process involved in art direction for games targeting bleeding edge hardware. Existing knowledge of 3D content creation and virtual reality development constraints is helpful but not required for this session.
