@hidden oyster and I are pleased to share with you the DISK designs we've been working on.
When you purchase Illuvitars, you will be purchasing them on Disks.
There are 3 stages, each with rarer and rarer items inside. Disk, Mega Disk, Ultra Disk
I believe the first sale will only have Disks and Mega Disks for sale but in the future we may include Ultra Disks.

When @hallow pewter joined the project, he inspired us all to reach worlds best. This guy is a freak of nature when it comes to complex VFX. He may be the best of all time.
He worked on Rhamphyre and gave us an incredibly iconic shot in the first trailer but even gods bleed lol.

10 months ago we made a call to hold off releasing what was at the time an artistic disaster. It was so far below our visual standard that I actually felt sick after seeing the alpha video released.
BUT, we have turned it all around and now I'm confident the community will love what our team has done with Zero!
We are only as strong as our weakest link and to truly bring main streamers on board we cannot fail in any area.
This Wednesday we're dropping EVERYTHING Illuvium Zero related in Illuvium showcase with @amber stone and @fast hound .
Highres art work, live gameplay, all community questions answered.
Thank you to all of the team who contributed to this, you absolutely nailed it!

When I reached out to @winged wasp , he had zero character work on his portfolio.
During this period, we were desperate to expand quickly and it was extremely hard to find suitable artists capable of doing clean and highly skilled stylised art for the project.
To make it worse, the games industry was rapidly absorbing all the best AAA artists due to covid...
I was praying he'd join us but like nearly all scenarios with our team, I underestimated his ability and we hit the jackpot when he agreed ๐
This dude is a BEAST and you can thank him for bringing to life so many of our beloved Illuvials.

By this point, I'd hope everyone in the discord is well aware that we never stop improving but sometimes the rate of improvement rapidly accelerates stirring up a lot of excitement in myself and the team!
I mentioned on showcase that @restive flint was busy creating scripts and the workflow to make Illuvium the first properly color calibrated game in history using accurate color theory a few months ago...
We had to wait until PB2 was launched to do this but now that it is out you will start to see Illuviums graphics and overall look and feel morph into something truly unique and in my opinion, revolutionary.
So you may be asking, what the hell we actually doing? It's a complex answer and one that requires an in depth interview beteen marc and myself that will be coming in a future show case but the answers are coming.
Our team is next level, don't forget it!

โNot in my database. What is it?โ he asked. She never knew when he was genuinely stumped or just too lazy to sift through the IlluviDex.
โIt appears to be some sort of radioactive substance,โ Len replied, studying the powdery residue with a furrowed brow.
โSubstanceโฆโ Moz4rt copied before trailing off.
Moz4rt's core was clearly busted, getting worse with every leap. He wasn't built for this and needed a serious tune-up, fast.
โSubstance,โ Moz4rt repeated, satisfaction in his tone.
โWhat? No. Itโs not called Substance.โ But it was too late. He had already wandered towards the horizon, repeating the word โsubstanceโ as if learning a new language. Her Control Unit buzzed, and she turned her wrist to check. A new gauge appeared, and the interface adjusted to accommodate it. The label read: Substance.

-Ophisto is complete!
-Taiga Boreal is being updated to take advantage of the sliding mechanic

This has been a very full on couple of weeks in the lead up to getting the beta out and we're doing our best to get as much art and UI polished as possible and although it sucks having less leaks, it's simply because I'm focused on doing whatever I can to help this release...

Every collectible in this game is a work of art, iterated on multiple times until we get close to perfection.
It's the only way any game or project is going to make digital collecting future proof and avoid the embarrassment we've witnessed universally across the entire space and even then, is it even possible?
Deep down, for me personally, that is the question I've always wanted an answer to.
As I transitioned from a kid on a playground trading stupid cards to a nerd on the computer creating art, nothing ever replaced that love I lost.
I really hope Illuvium can do it.

Hey.. time for a Team appreciation post - <@&1170043607995138119> !
Big shout out to all the people that have been working on this massive (ongoing) effort to make all our assets mobile ready.
Almost all of our Illuvials, Rangers, Drones, Skins and weapon assets are now ready for mobile.
I'm Super proud of what we've been able to do in the last 6 months.
We've basically took every asset, put it under the loop - optimized the hell out of it, and by doing so made a mobile-ready version for each of it.
We now have Cinematic assets, Hero assets, optimized assets and mobile assets.
I'd call it.. Futureproof.
Ali, Andre, Irina, Shawn, Alex, Cesar, Ergin, Jose, Jaco, Kevin, Sumoh, Laura, Abolfazl, Antonio, Marc, Raghu and many more.. some of who we unfortunately had to see go.

If youโve got the GPU for the next gen hair we are preparing, I wouldnโt even classify them as game models any more.
You might think weโre crazy to go to this level of detail, and we are, but the goal was the best stylised graphics in any game, ever. Itโs not up to me to decide if we achieve that but weโre definitely going in the right direction.
I hope when you all eventually load the game up that you will be too immersed to care about this work weโve put in and just appreciate the beauty of the characters on this world.

A lot of pre planning going into each region so weโre super fast building it.
The experience this team has means weโre making very few critical mistakes that will cause re dos later.
Instead we work in passes. We make sure the foundation is correct, then refine as much as we can with the time budget we have.

Our animation department is the best Iโve ever seen for games, but there are technical hurdles to solve before characters look natural in the environment.

Combine this with custom inverse kinematics and we have a very comprehensive solution to keep you immersed in the game when hunting

Do we have UE4 artwork for the cards you use in game or do we go next fucking level and spend the time to render out all the characters in V-Ray?
We are going crazy deciding but I think you all know it's gonna end up next level
Just for some context, this is the artwork we are talking about.
You will either have animated or still shots of the characters in your deck. That is completely up tp what UE4 minimum spec PCs can handle
do we go next level, or is this good enough?

The NFT art pipeline is complete.
From day 1, all the game assets were constructed with cinematic quality textures.
Our characters have displacement maps too (which means one day, when tessellation in games is more performant, we will flip a switch and get all the details from the sculpts the guys work so hard on)
You might not realise why this is a big deal, but it means when we work on offline cinematics, like Blizzard or Blur do, we can literally just use the game assets instead of completely redoing them.

As per @lavish moss's post in #๐ฐใleaks we had a new competition over the weekend. This will form a new series of exclusive 1 of 1 Illuvial NFTs (non playable). These aren't cosplay, or influencer. These are pure Illuvial NFTs. I'm pretty excited about it! (So excited that I reacted about 5 times in the hopes of winning)
To kick it off, we are minting Archie, the Stage 1 Turtle line Illuvial.
But I do have a winner for you: @runic questhie Time ! I wish I was kidding. It turns out that because @lavish moss added mention of the time to the post, Friend Time automatically reacted, and was the winner.
Congratulations, and thank you to everyone for playing.

There's so much weird and special hype surrounding the project now so like @west tide said, we're expanding and creating a narrative driven trailer, devoid of marketing bullshit that will stand the test of time.
I'd like to thank the Shapeshifters, the world renowned VFX studio that is helping bring this trailer to life

Not going to do any @'s for this. But I thought I'd give a little sneak peak at Synergies. The Game design team has spent hundreds of hours on these and we're finally in a spot we're very pleased with. Great Work @pseudo moat @thorn stream and @fringe crescent!

Been too long since sharing some awesome plants!
Update on hiring-
Kieran and I have reached out to over 200 artists now and multiple outsource studios and have many meetings lined up over this week and next.
Very promising and I can't wait to build our environment team to where it needs to be.
As always, if you know of AAA developers with awesome folios, feel free to tag me in character leaks and get yourself a finders fee if they are onboarded (Some coniditons apply)

Flawless work from @shut plover and @dusk violet
The attention to detail at every phase is crazy. Sculpt, Topo, Bakes, UV, they always deliver

@Here Hunters!! Prepare yourself for the survival mode!
**The Room is dark, electric sparks and cracks flash, lighting up some parts of this large open space youโve walked into. As you climb over a pile of wreckage and make your way towards the middle, the ground starts to rumble, and make odd beeping sounds. Hexagonal light flash up underneath you and the 6 corners around you start to light up, with pillars rising from the ground.
A giant G4udi Drone hangs above the board, held by wires and strong metal cables.
His interface lights up, and error codes project all over. A deep, loud siren like beep is broadcasted throughout the arena youโve found yourself in. The pillars on the side are suddenly activated. A forcefield like fence is cast between them and the first few rows of hexagonal tiles that make up the board flash red and turn purple.**

Whoever @'s me first in the Character leaks channel with with my favourite game and another affinity/class. Gets that affinity/class leaked! (Check pins in that channel for an example!)(Hint - the game is a hugely successful indie game that came out in the last 5 years) Winner was @worn sluice

One of the weak points mentioned in the trailer was the repetition of character attacks but with each character having a chain attack this should no longer be a problem!

@here I tell you what, when Aaron first told me we were going ahead with Illuvium Zero, I thought to myself wtf and omg.
I thought how are we gonna be able to do so much hard surface?
I also thought our main game might take a hit.
Thank God for @livid vessel though cause he has not only absolutely annihilated this giant mountain of work, but done it faster than I even thought possible.
IZ isn't meant to be some AAA mobile game of the year but the team has put true love into it and when the terrains are added in I think it's gonna look awesome.
Take a look at a big dump of work from Kantemirs last couple of months and give the crazy Russian a like.

Abyssal Basin - ** To the South East we find Slough. An unforgiving, giant, hot, murky, unpleasant swamp filled with giant โTitanicusโ mushrooms overwhelming the horizon. The ground is thick mud, with patches of swamp grass and knee-deep streams. The air is thick and sulfuric, due to gas that escapes from the core and bubbles to the surface. ** By @sacred dragon @here

But once you find the entrance and pass through the tunnel, you'll see a beautiful Garden, Soka's Garden.
As usual amazing stuff by the concept team. @grim maple

Meanwhile we pushing real hard to get amazing visuals even on the low spec machines.
