Work Environment & Scene

Ancient Chinese Environment Set

A full environment set for a PC title — palace, river town, garden courtyard, street and stage — each delivered in five weather and time states.

A complete environment set for a PC title, drawn as playable backdrops rather than one-off illustrations. Every location is delivered in five states — day, dusk, night, rain and snow — so the game can move through a full weather and time cycle without redrawing the scene.

Locations include the imperial palace throne hall (upper and lower camera), a Jiangnan river town and mansion, a garden courtyard, a magnificent stage, city main and side streets, manor estates, pavilions and barges, and the Pavilion of Celestial Secrets.
