2021 becomes a landmark year in terms of increasing the number of AAA projects for large customers. One of them is the photorealistic VR simulation Birdly Insects. This project becomes a Gold Winner in the NYX Game Awards international competition in the Game Design/Creature Design category.
The massive work on the world’s first blockchain-based AAA FPS game Undead Blocks also becomes an interesting challenge: our 3D character, weapon, and environment modeling experts team up with game and sound designers, as well as technical artists, to create an authentic post-apocalyptic setting and atmospheric musical design.
Two new areas of expertise appear:
