Cyberpunk 2077 - Environment Art & Lighting

For the final two years of Cyberpunk 2077 production, we've been onboard with CD PROJEKT RED delivering a total of more than 130 complete locations with our team Treehouse Ninjas.
Our responsibilities involved, starting from a greyboxed layout, tested and brainstormed with CDPR's level designers and art directors, to develop the entire locations, nailing style, readability, storytelling and mood progression, guiding the player through different potential narrative paths and gameplay styles.
These were mainly side quests also known as 'Street Stories': independent and self-conclusive stories that would either start and end in the same broad location, or sometimes take the player through different locations.
The team at Treehouse Ninjas had the unique opportunity to not only take each entire location through all the phases of environment art production, up to the final polish, but also to develop and implement the lighting for them, from the draft lighting stage to the final mood and look.
