Design full of madness – architecture in Alan Wake 2

Warsaw you don’t know – interview with the creators of The Thaumaturge
In the first decade of the 20th century, Warsaw was a place full of contrasts, and by some it was even called the Paris of the East. That’s why I’m so looking forward to The Thaumaturge! I managed to talk to the creators about how they plan to achieve this specific “magic” and atmosphere. Content translated automatically with GTranslate! The title of The Thaumaturge is the responsibility of the creators of Seven: The Days Long Gone and in my opinion it is a great recommendation. But how to show this almost mythical Warsaw that everyone has heard about, but do we realize what it actually looked like? Do we still feel it? Maciej Zakowicz, Lead 3D Enviro…

Japanese side-scrolling city in several versions – architecture in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Visits to fictional Japanese cities, in several different time periods, are the hallmark of 13 Sentinels. And all made in the once popular side-scrolling technique. I didn’t need any more encouragement! Hand-painted boards effectively attract attention to the screen, set in motion by animators!
