🎨 Environment Concept Art Update
We're currently refining the balance between realism and stylization in this scene. By adjusting rock formations, materials, shaders, and lighting, we're working toward a stronger visual identity while preserving the original composition and atmosphere in our videogame Al-Sirah.
Small changes, big impact. ✨
