With spells at the core of gameplay, she ensures every visual effect is both impactful and readable while staying within hardware limits. She also leads the technical development behind our Legendary and Epic skins, combining advanced materials with optimized performance to deliver visuals that stand out without compromise. Beyond production, Anastasia collaborates across teams, builds internal tools, and establishes workflows that improve efficiency and scalability. A strong reminder that great VR experiences are built at the intersection of art, performance, and precision.

Meet Konstantin Kuklin, responsible for asset creation, level layout, and environment design at Victoria VR. https://lnkd.in/e8q6u5iw Each Magic Madness arena begins with Feng Shui research, translating elemental philosophy into spaces that are both visually distinctive and mechanically balanced. The process moves from concept exploration and structural studies into Unreal Engine blockouts focused on gameplay flow, sightlines, and fair spawns. From there, asset production follows an MVP-first approach, refining structure before committing to detail. Texturing, materials, VFX direction, and continuous in-engine testing ensure scale accuracy, visual clarity, and smooth PvP readability in VR. The objective is to create arenas that are memorable, immersive, and technically optimized for high-intensity combat.
