The Escape Game

Digital content for immersive experiences

What can be more exciting than creating CG visuals for an immersive time travel train experience? Figuring out what King Arthur’s Castle, King Tut’s Tomb, the Prehistoric Era, Leonardo Davinci’s workshop, and a futuristic city might look like from the windows of a train were just a few of the visual challenges we tackled during the development of this project. An added twist was integrating elements and clues to the real-world puzzles into the CG environments. Players experienced more realistic gameplay because they had to take into account both the exterior world as well as the train interior to beat the game.

Technical Development

At the core the Fivestone content pipeline is our virtual studio. This cloud-based environment allows our global team of artists, animators, editors and creatives to collaborate in real-time without the typical bottlenecks created by syncing content between local workstations and the cloud. This was critical since the project files were over 4 terabytes in size.

The team primarily utilized Cinema 4D and Redshift for CG development with some additional scenes and FX created by and Unreal & Houdini. Mixamo was used for the knight character animation while our character animator, Eric Stars, hand animated all the dinosaurs!

Storyboards

A critical part of this project’s success was in planning out the flow of the story and visuals and how participants would engage with our content. Design director, Daniel Petrino, built an extensive set of storyboards and frames to help visualize the key moments, art direction, and screen layouts for the creative team.
