Fracked is an action-infused fast-paced VR shooter with bold, vivid, and highly artistic visuals, inspired by retro graphic novels. The art style of the game has naturally imposed an exciting challenge upon our team, and we had a lot of fun tackling it! One of the key objectives was to minimise the difference between a stylised concept and the final 3D world created within the engine limitations. We’ve successfully achieved that by using chunky clean shapes in conjunction with vibrant hand-painted textures, which helped us to visually break hard edges dictated by 3D software.

Here are a few storyboards that have been created for the game.
Comic books served as the main inspiration for portraying action and atmosphere in the shots, while dry ink reinforced the vibe of a brutal story.
