Project Overview

Lost Region is a game set in a post-apocalyptic world where players explore an open world filled with dangers, discoveries, and dynamic combat. Farom Studio took on the full development cycle, ensuring the integration of all key aspects of the project — from concept to release. What we did? Full development cycle: We managed the project at every stage — from design and gameplay concept and gameplay development to final certification and post-release support. All stages were coordinated by our team to ensure high quality and integrity at all levels. Architecture and 3D design: We created the visual style of the game by developing a variety of high-quality 3D assets, including characters, environments, and objects. We paid special attention to detail to create an atmospheric and realistic post-apocalyptic world Level Design: Our level designers created large, open spaces with non-linear structures that included important points of interest, cover areas, and patrol routes. We focused on navigation, environmental clarity, and balancing exploration and combat. Technical Art: Our technical artists ensured that the visual elements integrated smoothly with the gameplay, enhancing the overall experience without compromising performance. UI/UX Design: The interface was designed to minimize cognitive load, allowing players to make quick decisions during combat and exploration. The HUD adapts in real-time to the gameplay, assisting players in navigating the open world. Engineering (Unreal Engine): We developed the core game mechanics, AI behavior, inventory systems, progression features, and interactive world elements. Blueprints were used for fast prototyping, while C++ was leveraged to fine-tune the performance. Optimization: We conducted thorough performance profiling to reduce CPU and GPU load, implemented asset streaming, and optimized memory usage, ensuring stable performance across various devices. QA testing: We conducted multi-level testing, including functional, stress testing, and regression cycles. QA engineers ensured gameplay stability, correct AI behaviour, trigger behaviour, and flawless multiplayer mode operation. Porting: We adapted the game for various platforms, optimising performance, input handling, and interface. We ensured compliance with platform requirements and stable operation on different devices. How did we do it? We used a comprehensive approach, combining expertise in design, programming, optimisation, and testing. During development, we actively utilised the capabilities of Unreal Engine, from Blueprints for quick iterations to C++ for deep customisation. Every decision was aimed at optimising performance, and close interaction with our QA team allowed us to quickly identify and eliminate potential problems. Our team leads are specialists with many years of experience, working in the industry since its inception, back in the ‘dinosaur’ era, and close interaction with our QA team allowed us to quickly identify and eliminate potential problems. Why is this important? Lost Region required a unique team to synergise various disciplines, from technical to artistic. Working in unison, we ensured high-quality design, polished gameplay, and stability across different platforms. Performance optimization was a crucial part of the work, ensuring stable performance on a large number of devices and making the game accessible to a wide audience. We ensured its optimisation and stable performance on different platforms so that every player could enjoy the game anywhere. Our work increased the commercial potential of the game and reduced risks at all stages of development. Want to see how we can create a unique project for you?
