What’s Inside Other Worlds?
Alex Ries, a Melbourne-based creative powerhouse with a solid resume dating back to the late 2000s, is best known for his work on blockbuster titles like Subnautica: Below Zero and the unique turn-based strategy game Moonbreaker. This new project marks a significant step in his journey, and this isn’t just any artbook. It promises a treasure trove of concept art that gives players an inside look into the creative process behind their favorite games. Other Worlds will feature exclusive insights, including eight stunning pages dedicated to Moonbreaker, showcasing designs like The Sage, Charioteer, and Bastion Veros all explained through Ries’s own commentary.
Speaking about the challenge he faced while developing Moonbreaker, Ries shared, “It was interesting to stretch my creative muscles depicting technology and the ethereal otherworldly environments that were a part of Moonbreaker’s pre-production.” This fresh aesthetic required him to pivot dramatically from the underwater realms of Subnautica, revitalizing his creative prowess while drawing inspiration from tabletop miniature designs.
