At Streamline Studios, a commitment to mastery, discipline, and innovation drives every project. Eternal Strands, an action-adventure game developed in collaboration with Yellow Brick Games, exemplifies this dedication. The teams brought this ambitious vision to life, pushing the boundaries of game development with creativity, precision, and cutting-edge technology.
Crafting Immersive Worlds with Streamline's Expertise
Eternal Strands is more than just a game—it’s a fully immersive experience that reflects Streamline's dedication to the seamless integration of art, technology, and gameplay. Set in a richly detailed, vibrant world, this third-person action-adventure draws players into a narrative that is as compelling as it is visually striking. The studio's role was to bring this world to life, ensuring that every visual element aligned perfectly with the game’s creative direction and technical demands.
This project highlights what Streamline does best: delivering high-quality results on time and beyond expectations. The teams worked closely with Yellow Brick Games to ensure that every aspect of the game, from concept art to final in-engine integration, was executed with the precision and attention to detail that sets the studio apart.
Artistry Meets Technology: Building the Future of Games
Streamline's approach to Eternal Strands was comprehensive, deploying a full range of game development services, including:
- Character Creation and Animation: Talented artists designed over 25 unique character concepts, transforming them into fully realized 3D models. The team also created 14 intricate character rigs, allowing for dynamic movement and combat interactions essential to the game's core mechanics. The focus on precision and detail ensures that every character feels real, fluid, and part of the living world.
- Environmental Design: More than 350 game-ready environment assets were designed and delivered, along with two modular environment kits. These assets were critical in constructing the expansive, visually stunning world of Eternal Strands. Leveraging experience in creating modular environments enabled flexible level design while maintaining a high standard of visual fidelity.
- Lighting and Set Dressing: Lighting was used not only for aesthetics but also to create atmosphere and immersion. The team meticulously lit key player hubs, adjusting every detail to enhance both the emotional tone and gameplay experience. The set dressing added depth and realism, making every scene engaging and interactive.
Iterative Innovation: Streamline’s Development Process
Efficiency and quality go hand in hand at Streamline. The proprietary platform, Streamframe, enabled real-time collaboration with Yellow Brick Games, integrating assets directly into the game engine for immediate feedback and iteration. This transparent, agile workflow reduced revision cycles and ensured that every milestone was met on time, while maintaining the AAA quality synonymous with Streamline Studios.
A True Partnership for Success
What made Eternal Strands truly special was the collaborative synergy between Streamline and Yellow Brick Games. This was not just about delivering assets; it was about co-creating a game that reflects the vision of both partners. Streamline brought expertise in game development, art creation, and technical innovation, ensuring that every element of the game met the highest standards. This level of collaboration distinguishes Streamline in the industry—becoming an extension of a partner's team, aligning with their goals, and delivering solutions that exceed expectations.
"Working with Streamline Studios has been an incredible experience for all of us. We've learned so much from them. Their level of communication and commitment to bring to life our first game, Eternal Strands, was inspiring across the entire team here at Yellow Brick Games. No doubt, our relationship between our companies will continue to grow in the years to come."
