Throne of the Damned

I designed a low-poly, Halloween-themed map over the span of a month as a passion project for the popular social game “VR Chat”. My aim was to create something visually appealing with a simplistic style, that is optimized for high performance across all PC VR devices. The biggest optimization comes from a specialized shader I developed, it breaks down any material using it into a 3x3 grid of colors. Every asset that utilizes this shader has its UVs placed in the corresponding quadrant to color it accordingly. This technique allows me to create extremely small texture files with no quality loss. All visual effects are created using Amplify Shader Editor, a powerful third-party extension used to create shaders.

The map is currently publicly available and has achieved several hundred visits with very positive reception.

Developed in Unity, Prototyped in Autodesk Maya
