About project

Blitz: Rise of Heroes is a fantasy idle RPG set in the world of Asteria, where players gather powerful heroes to confront the forces of darkness. The game combines hero collection, team-based combat, and competitive PvP battles within a world of magic and conflict. With diverse locations to discover and challenges to overcome, players build their teams and uncover the secrets of a realm caught in an epic struggle.

Our Approach

[ 01 ]
BRIEFING & VISUAL ALIGNMENT

We reviewed the project’s requirements and existing art direction with the Whaleapp LTD team, aligning our work with the fantasy world of Blitz: Rise of Heroes. Our focus was on understanding the visual style and atmosphere of the locations, ensuring that the environments and props would feel like a natural part of the game.

The result: a shared understanding of the visual direction and clear priorities for environment and prop production.

LOCATION & PROP DEVELOPMENT

We developed game locations and props with careful attention to composition, scale, and silhouette. Rather than treating assets as isolated objects, we considered how they worked together within each scene, building cohesive environments where larger structures and smaller details supported the overall setting.

The result: cohesive locations and complementary props that establish a distinct sense of place.

[MATERIALS & VISUAL REFINEMENT

We refined materials, textures, and surface details to bring depth and character to the environments. Our approach balanced visual richness with clear forms, keeping colors and material treatment consistent with the game’s established style. Each refinement helped connect individual assets to the atmosphere of their location.

The result: polished environment art with consistent materials, purposeful detailing, and a unified visual identity.

FINAL REVIEW & HANDOFF

We incorporated client feedback and refined the locations and props for quality and visual consistency. We then prepared builds and carried out final testing in Unity, checking the assets’ appearance and setup within the engine. Once the final checks and adjustments were complete, we organized the assets and project materials for delivery to the Whaleapp LTD team in line with the agreed requirements.

The result: finalized locations and props, tested Unity builds, and organized project materials ready for handoff to the development team.
