“The future belongs to augmented reality. The logical way to develop game art design is to break down the borders between our reality and the game world. Though we believe that classical games will retain their own niche market, there will be development in creating unique story-telling and individual art styles. It is necessary to engage users’ emotions.”...
How does technology influence or expand your creativity towards Game Art Design? “Technology helps a lot in my day-to-day work, especially using 3D. It makes you think about things in 3D, how your scene would look from different angles or how to place the camera for better story-telling, or how to light the environment. Basically it provides a better understanding...
What would be the next big thing for Game Art Design? “AI assisted and generative design. It’s been simmering in the background for a couple of years and the results you can get using different AI-based techniques are extremely impressive.

Last year I bought a pen display tablet; I was sceptical at the beginning because I worked for many years on regular graphic tablets and I was used to them, but I wanted to try something new. Now I don’t want...
What would be the next big thing for Game Art Design? “Besides the modern-day development of technology and increasing computing power (which enables a very high level of realism), there is a constant simplification of creating processes, blurring the line between the concept and ready product.

“We’ve noticed a trend of video games ‘maturing’ in the way they want to present their product to consumers. Specifically, our gaming clients increasingly look towards the work we’ve done for film and TV series and aspire to have something similar. Our gaming work used to be very focused on informational world building, with a lot of detailed voiceovers and...
