The Game Developers Conference and Unity Technologies have partnered to curate and host a 3D art contest for games using Unity. A jury composed of key Unity staff, GDC contributors and third-party experts have selected 12 outstanding projects. Each of them was selected because of its standout aesthetics – including use of modeling, animation, and special effects – to create a stylish and unique visual experience.

Among the winners is «Airheart» by Blindflug Studio. «Airheart» is a dieselpunk airplane game, telling the tale of young fisherwoman Amelia on her quest to find the legendary skywhale in the stratosphere. But the way to the top is a dangerous one, filled with merciless pirates, mechanical security drones and powerful bosses. You will have to be cunning and resourceful as you ascend and dive through a world of colourful skylayers by hunting for flying fish, searching hidden secrets and using scrap to tinker on your airplane, all the while the ecosystem changes as a result of your actions. «Airheart» will be coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC in early summer 2018.
