Ember Valley - Slime Rancher 2

I had the privilege to work on a few new neighboring areas in the Ember Valley, released with the "Gadgets Your Way" update. This includes three different areas: the Bubbling Flats, the Ancient Amphitheater, and the Flameflower Cliffs - all designed by Chris Lum. I had a lot of feedback from Norma Martínez and Dillon Sommerville, along with some very inspiring concepts from Ray Bruwelheide. My goal was to really embody the names of the areas - the Bubbling Flats would feel very hot and full of lava, the Ancient Amphitheater to feel overgrown (and emptier for gameplay purposes), and the Flameflower Cliffs, illuminating the night with all the beautiful foliage. All the assets were existing from the work of the team, I was responsible for the set dressing, lighting, and weather in these areas.
