Here's a collection of stills from the intro of the next game I'm creating called 'What Lies Within The Ivory Tower' - a cinematic story based game set on Titan. It's a Jazz-Fusion inspired, Mid-Cenutry Modern story game where you have to stay in the light in order to survive.

All of these shots were art directed by myself; using a mixture of my own work and marketplace content. No AI was used in the production of these environments at any point. Scenes were rendered entirely in Unreal Engine 5 and rendered using Movie Render Queue, and edited in Premiere.

Credits:
Rasmus Poulsen for his computer screens and aircraft dials - they really helped with the visual design of the Caldera's cockpit.

Casey Gosset for her fantastic work on the Caldera - I wouldn't have been able to get this project done in the time I needed without her laboring over the Caldera. I gave her an initial blockout and design spec sheet, and she took it all the way to the finish line.

3D Scan Store for the Escape Suit, which fit my brief perfectly from day zero.

Makemake on Fab for the planet assets, which are a beautifully made and straightforward solar system pack.

The game is now in an early Alpha stage, with a script and content roadmap planned. You can wishlist the game on Steam here:

I've been responsible for the vast majority of this project, from thematic design, art direction, set dressing, lighting, story creation, audio design and so on - but I have to state that this could not be created without the countless talented artists who upload and create assets and marketplace content both for free and for purchase. While in many aspects this is a solo endeavour - I stand on the shoulders of giants.
