Animated in-house by Parallel Studios’ cinematic team using Unreal Engine, this ambitious film offers a glimpse into the sci-fi universe of their online card game while serving as a prologue for the characters’ motivations and conflict.
Parallel founder/CD Oscar Mar: “The decision to unveil a cinematic piece for the launch of the game’s open beta was driven by the goal of immersing existing players and newcomers in the tapestry of the game’s universe. The team set out to create a cinematic piece that offered players a glimpse into the Parallel world, its five factions, and the conflicts that define them.
“This was our first cinematic piece made in Unreal Engine, so there was a definite learning curve that we had to go through while making the switch from Cinema 4D, Blender, Octane, and Redshift.”
