FAQ

What Is Game Environment Design?

Environment design is a crucial component as it sets the atmosphere of the game and other entertainment projects. This is a process when the overall environment is designed for a game to realize a particular vision in the gameplay. Outdoor and indoor locations are designed for a gaming environment. Numerous genres are used, including science-fiction, fantasy, history, anime, and other imaginary universes where the talent of environment artists is required to reveal the whole idea. They use a number of digital tools such as Photoshop, Maya, ZBrush, Houdini, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, 3D-Coat, 3dsMax to create a precise picture of the game.

Environment artists are responsible for creating the bulk of the overall asset and visual elements that a player may encounter on the screen – buildings, streets, foliage, furniture, and all other elements. Profound design thinking is a key foundation of impressive environments in games. Before starting working on a new project, it is recommended to come up with a high concept of how areas should look.

The first element is the game concept, which defines the rules of the game and the mechanics of the player’s interaction with the virtual world. How fast does a character run and how high do they jump? What obstacles and characters will they meet on the way? How will they interact with other characters? A good designer answers all these questions taking into account the project idea, requirements, and business needs. Details play a vital role in how the environment is built and how it is perceived by the user.

What Are the Stages of Game Environment Design?

As game environment design vary in 2D and 3D, we offer both procedures with the detailed description of each:

  1. Concept development. It is vital to focus on the big picture at the initial stage. Concept art is one of the elements used to articulate the vision and environment of a game. Concepts may lack some fine details but will demonstrate the general idea behind each game.
  2. Sketching. After having several concepts at hand, professional artists come up with some compositional sketches. They help find something special in environmental storytelling.
  3. Color composition. As soon as the best sketch is chosen, several lighting sketches should be completed to convey the desired atmosphere. Particular colors set the mood that will affect players.
  4. Final rendering. This is the stage when all details are emphasized, all sketching residues are removed to have a realistic virtual environment. At this final stage, everything is thoroughly checked In terms of form, color, light, shadow, atmosphere.

How to Hire Game Environment Designers?

If you plan to develop a game, but you are not a graphic designer, you need to find the best environment artist for hire to complete this project successfully. You should go to the places where the artists are – ArtStation, Behance, LinkedIn or game art studios. Hundreds of talented and experienced artists are awaiting your job offer.

You can consider several ways to hire an environment designer – freelancing, in-house employment, or outsourcing. But before you decide on which engagement model to follow, take into consideration other points like expertise levels, education, and work experience. It is better to discuss all these points before hiring any specialist.

But what exactly to ask a game designer about? What skills they must have and what experience is considered sufficient to obtain excellent results? Game artists should have a full understanding of creating games from scratch, have experience in using specific tools like Adobe Photoshop, Maya or 3dsMax. It is also important to be familiar with game engines such as Unreal Engine, or Unity. Besides, every reliable artist is supposed to have a well-formed environmental design portfolio to demonstrate his/her practical experience.

Why Outsource Game Environment Design?

Creating a product – be it a game or any other project – is not the only thing that may take a good deal of time. You also have to manage and run a business. How to do the whole project without any assistance? Almost impossible! Today, it is common to outsource services that in-house teams can’t perform on their own. But there is one more tendency to hire skilled and affordable talent from abroad, mostly in developing countries like Ukraine, Belarus or India. This is a great option that supports the needs of your project – an artwork will be created by specialists with excellent painting skills at an affordable price.

 

You get professional services, access to the global talent pool and lower costs than in countries like the USA, Canada and European countries.
