Club layout

3d Environment of club

Built in Unreal Engine 5, carefully designed to replicate the exact layout and style of the client’s club. Every detail—from the dance floor and seating areas to the lighting setup and décor—was recreated in a stylized yet realistic way to immerse players in a familiar setting.

We used high-quality textures, custom lighting rigs, and optimized geometry to match the club’s atmosphere while keeping the game lightweight and smooth

In Without Sanctuary, we created custom photorealistic characters based on real people, such as club staff and owners. Built for Unreal Engine 5, these fighters feature detailed textures, lifelike skin shaders, and smooth animations—making the gameplay experience feel authentic and personal to the venue.

The gameplay in Without Sanctuary is built in Unreal Engine 5 and focuses on exploration and storytelling. We added smart AI to make characters and environments respond naturally, and created easy-to-use UI screens so players can interact smoothly. Cinematic moments and dynamic effects help bring the experience to life.

Without Sanctuary was developed in collaboration with Barden M. Collins, who wanted a unique, club-exclusive fighting game to engage guests and create a memorable entertainment experience.

By replicating his club’s exact environment and designing custom characters based on real people, the project delivered a personalized and immersive game that reflected his brand identity while offering something fun and interactive for visitors.
