A Closer Look: Shaman Ritual Site

Since we made a conscious effort to guide the player through the world using the natural environment, landmarks were important. This location was a very flat marshy area in Toyotama when I was tasked with taking the design layout and getting it to a polished state. Since the surrounding area was flat with few landmarks, I added a unique rock formation with a nice far read and gave this Mongol camp a Shaman ritual theme. The goal was to make this location more memorable and visually unique for the player. It also seemed to work quite well as a landmark in the middle of the flat marshlands.
