STEP 41 OF 67 · YOU ARE THE ENVIRONMENT ARTIST
Hand-build the hero locations
Landmarks, mission spaces and story interiors are where players look closest, so you build these yourself.
How to do it
- Build each landmark and mission space by hand.
- Use AI-generated models only for background props.
- Hero pieces are made in Blender or bought.
How AI speeds this up
Duke generates concept art for each landmark to guide you.
Example from a sample game
Ashfall: the Watchtower and the Ember Gate interior, built by hand.
Before you move on
In Duke Forger, this step's gate checks:
- You upload proofScreenshots of your hero locations
Words to know
