Getting Shredders to the Next Level

game assets - modular assets - materials - texturing

In March 2022, the Belgian game studio FoamPunch released the gorgeous snowboarding love letter Shredders for Xbox X/S, Game Pass, and Steam. The game got overwhelmingly positive reviews from Steam users.

We assisted the studio in creating tons of modular environments: hotels, chalets, high-rises, old towns, factories, and temples.

On top of that, we created and optimized clothes and gear for the snowboarders in the game.

"For Shredders, we needed some high quality modular kits for level design, based on concepts we created. Cybernetic Walrus delivered AAA quality assets on time and within the given budget, perfect for quick deployment in our game."

Key Points

Challenge: A snowboard game needs an engaging environment that does not feel too repetitive.
Solution: Highly modular assets that can be combined or colored.
Approach: For every theme, we developed small ‘puzzle pieces’ that could be used in different ways.
Outcome: Lots of buildings and props in the game that feel unique and can also be used in the gameplay.

Crafting modular assets is one of our strongest skills. With our expertise in optimizing assets for your game, you never have to worry about performance or scalability.

Modularity

Our 3D artists used real-world references and then designed modular puzzle pieces based on those. On top of that, pieces of different materials could be combined as well.

Variation

We created, among other things, the following sets: a Swiss hotel, a chalet park, an abandoned Italian village, an industrial area, Russian high-rises, and a Tibetan town.

Fashion Alert

Using the same modular approach, we created a whole line of flashy outfits based on Foampunch’s input, taking into account the wildly different materials of skiing suits.

Fitting Props

Apart for buildings and clothes, we created some props that fit in the environment seamlessly. Here, we can see some traces of snow on the snowscooter tracks.
