On this week’s Inside Unreal, we’ll be joined by What Remains of Edith Finch’s Creative Director Ian Dallas and Lead Artist Brandon Martynowicz, who will discuss the game’s development, sharing how—and why—they handcrafted hundreds of assets with only three artists. With an emphasis on storytelling within the environment, we’ll learn what their workflow and pipeline looked like, from design blockout to in-game assets.
