SIXMOREVODKA Studio shares their journey creating ORKEN, a transmedia universe spanning novels, games, and art. The studio discusses their approach to maintaining visual consistency across media formats, developing a unique stylized 3D rendering pipeline, and building an independent IP through serialized fiction and Kickstarter campaigns. They emphasize creator ownership, cross-media worldbuilding, and funding development through tangible products rather than promises. The article covers technical challenges in achieving a distinctive art style in real-time rendering, the strategic use of novels as narrative backbone, and the realities of indie studio management including brutal work hours and resource constraints.
