Devlog #4: Art Development Challenges – January 22nd, 2025

Hi Gamers! Tina here—Social Media Expert and Host at RolldBox Games. Today, I’m chatting with Cris, Art Director of the studio at RolldBox Games 👋 We’ve kicked off 2025 with tons of energy and are working hard to wrap up the full development of [i][b]Masks of the Void[/b][/i] so you can dive in as soon as possible! Today, we're sharing more details about the game and what we’re up to. Hope you enjoy it! [h2][b]Inside the Development Process[/b][/h2] In the full version of the game, you’ll get to fully explore the world of the Void. One of the key aspects we’ve focused on is the architecture of this world. So, where did the real challenge lie? It was all about nailing the right balance—figuring out the perfect number of pieces and their variety to bring the Void we envisioned to life. You know what they say, “easier said than done”, and turning our ideas into an efficient, playable design that delivers a great experience with the right performance is always a tough quest.

Our art team uses various techniques to optimize visual resources. One example is a fake fog material we use in several areas. Its versatility and logic have been applied to other elements as well, like the sand dunes found in the Vortex.
