THE HISTORY OF THE PLACE
In the search for the village of Canudos, Cícera will experience her first sunset in a mountainous region, which reminds her of the last moments in the old village.
In Serra das Almas she will spend the first night, being tested by the new challenges of the nights at the backlands.
The upper part of this region has some houses, which from a distance seem abandoned. There is also a building that resembles a chapel, at a very high point. Cícera wonders if it is possible to get there.
Inside, there is what is left of a weir, in addition, a stable and some plantations, all still in a state that suggests that people were circulating there recently.
This place has stories that will impact the journey of bravery that only just begun.
REFERENCES
Serra das Almas was deeply influenced by a caatinga ecoregion called Raso da Catarina, found especially in the surroundings of the city of Paulo Afonso, in Bahia.
Extremely dry, in general, it is a region formed by large canyons, also marked by sandy and deep terrains, populated by the typical vegetation of the backland environment.
Among the many details that populate this region, the blue chapel stands out in a very high place.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Much of what we learned in the development of “Backland’s Awakening” is being applied now, especially in the construction of the “Rise of the Brave” scenarios.
To improve production agility and make the game more optimized, we now model the terrain details using another tool, Maya 3D and then export the updates to Unity, where we apply textures and objects.
It is also interesting to mention the new challenge of creating the scenarios considering the day, the night, and the variations of light between them since the ambiance needs to communicate the design and be visually attractive in any condition.
So we are testing many solutions for shaders, lighting, particles, and other visual effects.
To conclude, below we present the initial concepts for this scenario, produced in stages that precede the production of 3D objects.
Put ÁRIDA: Rise of the Brave on your wishlist! This is the most efficient way to make the spread of the game for more people!
