Duskveil is the game environment for my senior thesis project, XELVITA at Ringling College of Art and Design.
In this post, I'd love to demonstrate how I built this colossal environment that not only looks visually appealing but can also be integrated into a real game with optimal performance. It includes some tricks I did in UE5, lighting setups, trim sheet workflows, etc.
I have also been invited by The Rookies to write a blog about my creative process when making this project, to check out if you want some detailed breakdowns and tutorials!https://discover.therookies.co/2025/03/10/creating-a-game-ready-expansive-world-in-ue5/

Hope y'all enjoy!
