PRE-PRODUCTION / 2D
Concept Art & Illustration
Every game begins its journey with a central idea or theme. We help you translate and communicate that theme through visually appealing concept art. Creating concept art is a visual development process that involves making basic sketches, fine tuning them and then creating finished artwork for the game with color rendering. We make multiple iterations of each idea to fully explore all creative possibilities so that our clients have the flexibility to choose the direction that appeals to them the most.
Game Level Design
Good level design is a key component in ensuring engaging gameplay. Level designers have to strike a tricky a balance to keep players engaged – the levels have to be complex enough to allow players to test their skills and yet involve enough rewards to ensure that they do not get bored. Our team at ZE Studio has some of the best game level designers in the industry who understand how to create levels that challenge players and keep them interested in the game.
Game Screen & UI / UX
Designing an intuitive, user-friendly UI is an important part of creating a compelling game. Deciding how information, tutorials, menus and access keys are placed plays a huge role in determining overall player experience. Our UI/UX design process involves multiple stages to meet industry standards and arrive at a solution that best suits the game. Our interfaces are constantly tested by a QA team at every stage to ensure that designs and layouts are customized for optimal user experiences.
2D Animation
This is one of the most popular forms of animation for 2D games. An efficient process, this results in lighter animations for mobile platforms and is useful for games that involve a large number of animations.
This is among the oldest animation techniques, which is used for traditional 2D Games that have basic graphical elements.
Production / 3D
Modeling & Texturing
Creating 3D models of characters, environments, weapons and objects is the first step in bringing any 3D game to life. Our modelers are skilled at creating exquisitely detailed 3D assets for PC and console based games and optimizing the same assets for mobile games without compromising on quality. We work with a wide range of the latest 3D software and use both traditional and PBR methods to achieve high-quality results for maximum appeal.
Rigging & Animation
Rigging and Animation is huge topic at Zagreus mainly because of extensive experience our team has and robust proprietary software knowledge we have. Our solutions go from current generation game rigs (PS3/Xbox 360/ PC) for Steam, Unity, UE4 & VR Chat over next gen grade face rigs to VFX quality rigs. This is one area where we are extremely productive while still satisfying highest production organization standards and quality requirements.
