Pancake Palace

Pancake Palace is the first level that intentionally breaks away from the gentlemen’s theme, embracing the absurdity and chaos at the heart of the game. It draws heavy inspiration from the infamous Waffle House — a chain restaurant “famous” for its late-night brawls. I aimed to capture that rowdy, unpredictable energy and turn it into a fun, chaotic space where the fights feel right at home.

The menu UI is made by our amazing artist Oscar! He also draws some concept art sketches that explores the scene mood.

Breakdown

Indoor lighting is baked into lightmaps to optimize performance while still achieving strong visual quality.

Tree leaves are made from 2D planes with textures to reduce polycount.

A large portion of the forest and the mountain are 2D planes as well.
