In a sandbox project like Metaverse, it is key to create the environment and character(s) that are deeply immersive, match the theme, and drive toward the narrative. During the world-building of Yetiverse, we had to keep the following factors in mind:

1. It needed to be low-poly to run on both high and low-end mobile devices

2. The art style had to be toon-ish and 3D

3. Character model for yeti - friendly yet maintaining its features from the lore

4. Clothing design for different tiers of yetis

5. Create unique buildings that could serve different purposes 

Concept Art

With these directions in mind, we started brainstorming for ideas and set out to explore for references that matched our vision. The art team had a lot of fun doing this; old Christmas movies and lores of yetis and bigfoot were revisited, and mountainous regions of Iceland and Norway were studied for the environment design along with snowcapped English cottages for buildings.
