AI-Assisted Game Development in Unreal Engine
Christopher Gamache
Creative assets become useful when they can move into a working game. Rowan is a recent extension of Wild Pines’ application and AI workflow practice into Unreal Engine, bringing environments, models, animation, music and sound into one original game in development.
The set starts with Lanternhold, a playable development environment. It then shows model and animation work, original score and sound production, and the Squall Drake moving from visual concept through model and Unreal inspection. The engineering work connects those stages so assets can be reviewed, revised and brought into the development workflow.
Lanternhold in Unreal Engine: the Market Hall at dusk, the town's overall layout, and an enterable hall. These native captures show the town snapshot adopted into the October 12 development demo.
Thornpelt Wolf and Bramble Weaver creature studies, with source-model motion and a separate Unreal inspection of the wolf. The evidence shows workshop assets; it does not claim these exact variants appear in the published demo.
Static overview of Rowan sound and music: Shrike combat, Ember Dart, footsteps, spatial ambience and the original Lanternhold score using VSCO 2 CE orchestral samples. The score and ambience were recorded separately.
The five-stage production workflow, illustrated with Squall Drake: selected concept, textured model views, and a separate Unreal lighting inspection. This example is documented through engine inspection; it does not establish inclusion in the published playable.
Original game in development. Lanternhold is a playable development build; Squall Drake is shown in model and Unreal inspection. Score production includes two accepted VSCO 2 Community Edition compositions.
