ARA: History Untold architecture work.

Architectural art that I worked on while I was the Concept Art Lead at Oxide entertainment. All art is owned by Oxide and Microsoft.

How it started, how it ended.

Three story future park.

Open air Renaissance Plaza.

Tavern.

Aquarium.

Little background here. These elements were intended to be scattered about a parcel of land , connected with roads to give the impression of a large park where digs were ongoing. We would create camps around dig sites.

A future building that an entire city block/community as a single element. Contains it's own park, animated water, lights that could be keyed to a player's chosen color.

A progression of a plot of ground from undeveloped and into the future.

Block exploration, a series. A block is an interface element and a player should be able to read what is going on in the game through the architecture.

Affluent variation.

Depressed variation.

Damaged variation.

How a building would start.

Building in progress with scaffolding in some cases

The complete buildings.

The buildings damaged.

We were exploring using generic ruins elements to represent destroyed buildings across all times as a render savings.

The generic ruins are now grown over, indicating a final game state. still using generic elements as a render savings.

Just a fun page of buildings for later in the game.

I include this because it is fun, but there's also some method to the madness here. Many of these elements of the boardwalk that are used here, were also combined into other structures like a theme park. Savings.
