Below is an earlier press release from Stunlock Studios
Skövde, Sweden – 23rd June, 2021 – Stunlock Studios today have published a Dev Update interview with Art Director Johan Wahlbäck for their open-world vampire survival game, V Rising, coming to PC on Steam with the Beta planned later this year. While the Beta version is coming soon, excited fans have wasted no time sending in questions to gain greater insight into the dark and wonderful world of V Rising. This Dev Update is full of information regarding the atmosphere of the game, the design of characters, the gothic themes across the game’s architecture, and the violent contrast between humanity and the bloodthirsty vampires. The art director warns that bloodshed is a key part of the vampire's visuals, but it is contrasted with their darkness and beauty.
Stunlock Studios’s previous game Battlerite is a competitive game where readability is a crucial element of the intense tactical gameplay. With V Rising’s more detailed graphics and higher fidelity, there are concerns that visual clarity may be affected. Art Director Johan allays those fears with the following statement:
“Even though readability isn’t as crucial as in a competitive arena game like Battlerite, we still work a lot with this in V Rising to make the player feel they are in control of the various gameplay situations. Since the world is high in detail, we chose to simplify the shapes of our characters to make them read better. We’re using an approach similar to what you see in traditionally animated Ghibli and Disney movies, where the characters are outlined to stand out on watercolor-painted backgrounds. This direction enables us to design more distinct characters for better readability without compromising the atmosphere-heavy and richly detailed world.”
