Hey, all!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m Ruo Yu Chen, our Concept Art Lead. Today I\u2019m here to talk a little bit about Bordrima, a town in Thenodar that we\u2019re currently working on.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thenodar, as a kingdom and culture, is rather more similar to traditional medieval countries that we\u2019re all familiar with. As such, the direction we\u2019re taking with the designs is go to for a more realistic and practical approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bordrima, being on the outskirts of Thenodar, is a smaller and rather secluded town. We\u2019ve designed the buildings to fit with that theme – houses are sturdy and mostly built from wood, and are simple, unlike the ornate art of the Anointed Kingdoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite our attention to realism in design, we still want to make the world interesting to look at! At such, we\u2019ve paid attention to verticality and segmentation in architecture – this is perhaps most evident in the Inn concept piece displayed in this post. Perhaps a traditional medieval tavern would have simply been a big blocky structure, but that wouldn\u2019t be as interesting to look at and explore!<\/span><\/p>\n

In short, we want to make our world interesting, but believable. No insane, gravity-defying towers, but no endless rows of boring wooden shacks, either; we strive to strike a good balance between the two. Hopefully, we\u2019ll put out more of these posts and you can see our design work in (relative) action!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
