Over the past 3 years I had the pleasure to art direct the Otherside for Yugalabs.
The Otherside is a social experience, focused on enabling mass player events with up to 10.000 concurrent users, as well as reoccurring smaller activities.
Together with my Co-Art Director Lea Dickert we directed the conception and 3d execution of the Nexus social hub, as well as the 29 Otherside biomes.
We defined the overall visual language, worldbuilding, and narrative atmosphere of the experience.

------

In this role, I directed both our internal 2D concept team and internal 3D team, ensuring that designs, models, and environments aligned with the project’s creative direction. Overseeing and collaborating with external vendors for asset creation, 3D modeling, and worldbuilding support.

The creative team involvement on all facets of production include a variety of developers at all different phases of the product's development. The credits to the team are as follows:
