New World Aeternum - Skinflint Thicket

Skinflint Thicket is a point of interest featured in Cutlass Keys zone in New World Aeternum. This was the result of a team wide effort by both Lost Boys Interactive and Amazon Games to creature the experience featured in Cutlass Keys. The assets featured in this piece were the result of a collaborative effort between Lost Boys Interactive and Amazon Games. My contributions were layout and set dressing of assets featured in this area including layout of rocks to support design and gameplay needs. I was honored in assisting in establishing the overall theme in tandem with the artistic vision of my Art Director Michael Dunnam and Lead Peter Hartmann. I would especially like to call out Peter Hartmann who greatly assisted in establishing the vision of this area and assisting alongside design to best feature the design needs in this area. His assistance and excellent standards greatly helped in establishing a consistent theme for Skinflint Thicket featured in this poi of Cutlass Keys. Other responsibilities of mine included ensuring proper collision as well as ground and vegetation placement and refinement. I would also like to call out Jordan Arruda for greatly assisting with best practices and standards for this particular area to achieve desired performance results with the varied rock placement needs required. The lighting was done by Ethan Reeds. The terrain & roads as well as technical aspects were created by Jonathan Oakes, Jonathan Tucci, and Mia DelCasino and I would like to call out their wonderful work in helping to create a consistent gameplay space and artistic vision. I would like to thank both Lost Boys Interactive and Amazon Games for the opportunity to work on such a wonderful project as Cutlass Keys!
