Game Art Challenge - World of Real-time Discoveries

If you choose to accept this challenge, you will need to imagine an unseen distant planet and recreate it as a real-time environment render

The Rookies in partnership with Experience Points brings you our next challenge.

If you choose to accept this challenge, you will need to imagine an unseen distant planet and recreate it as a real-time environment render. Your world must include different types of vegetation and plant life. It must be vast and open, and most importantly it must evoke wonder, disbelief and emotions.

The prize is going to be something that every member will want, and it's not software or hardware, it's an opportunity! In this challenge, we will ask you to create an environment composed with its own original design based on a script provided by our director.
