Phoenix Labs' Project Bismuth (Unreleased) - Verdant

Project Bismuth is an unreleased title from Phoenix Labs. I was brought into the project in 2023 to establish a style and to design all the many different areas the game has. My major contribution was to help the level design and 3D environment team with many different ideas. All images are published with permission from Phoenix Labs.

This page in particular is dedicated to the Verdant area.

The initial exploration was heavily inspired by Roman gardens of old.

Early exploration of what the Gardens could look like. The team really liked the idea of a bunch of roots merging into one to create a natural bridge.
