Art direction, Environment Art

For the art style of Floor 13: Deep state we went for a stylised aesthetic, heavily influenced by impressionism.

To create a unique and fitting look, we used a camera shader that distorted the meshes rendered using a normal map and distance, with an ID mask to allow us to fine tune its effect to ensure important gameplay elements, such as the calendar clock on the player’s desk, and trophies in the archives, would remain clearly legible.
