Meet Cathedral Studios | Isidora - Environment Artist

Horror isn’t just about what you see—it’s about feeling uneasy, as if danger could spring from every shadowy corner. It's a thrilling challenge to craft the chilling yet oddly captivating world of The Bornless, requiring immense talent and creativity.

One of the artists behind the eerily enchanting vibe of Farmouth is...

I often wish I had more hours in a day so I can have time for all of my hobbies. Until a few months ago I considered what is now my job a hobby! Other than that, I enjoy outdoor sports and spending time in nature. However, music is probably my biggest passion. I play a few instruments but the most surprising one must be djembe - an African drum - which I play in a drum circle collective.

If you had to be any character from The Bornless for a day, who would you pick, and why?

I guess I would choose Maya. Haven't done much thievery in my life but I do enjoy stealthy games the most. Additionally, I see her as a bit of a thrill-seeker and adventurer, which resonates with me.

Stay tuned for our next update of Meet Cathedral Studios. Until then...

Stay Unholy!

Vehicle Showcase: Solomon’s Pickup Truck

In the early stages of developing The Bornless, the idea of incorporating vehicles seemed like an odd fit. If asked, "Will The Bornless have vehicles?" we would've likely responded with, "No, what do you mean?" However, as the game world expanded, the necessity for a feature enabling rapid travel between locations became apparent. Fast travel and teleportation didn't align with our vision, leading us to introduce Solomon’s Pickup Truck, the first player-controlled vehicle in The Bornless.

[h3]Preserving the Eerie[/h3]
Adding this vehicle posed a unique challenge. The Bornless is, at its core, an FPS horror shooter, and vehicles are neither inherently terrifying nor do they shoot bullets. After our 3D Team completed the car's design, the sound design team took the lead, crafting immersive sounds that enhance the experience. Just envision the sound of tires screeching as you drift through the winding streets of Farmouth. These vehicles are housed in garages at specific locations on the map. Accessing the cars involves our Active Interact System, which adds a fun layer to interacting with objects within the game.

[h3]Gameplay Design[/h3]
Our design intentionally supports dynamic gameplay scenarios. Whether players are being shot at or chased by a demon, the trucks are designed so that when a player jumps onto the back, they stay put instead of bouncing off. Although the game primarily supports duo play, if you spot a truck and have the skills to jump onto the back, you can execute some impressive James Bond-style takedowns.

Definitely Orobas! The main reason is when we were playtesting the game, I was the first one who managed to become Orobas, so I guess it’s like a personal connection between us two.

I hate cooking. I find no joy in it; it's a chore and nothing more. Unless I'm cooking a curry, that is... Indian food has always been my favourite, ever since I was young - When I first moved to London and was mourning the loss of my mum's cooking, the first dish I began teaching myself to cook was a homemade curry. Over a decade later, it's safe to say I can cook up a curry with my eyes closed, with whatever is left in the cupboards, and it's very much my signature dish!

If you had to be any character from The Bornless for a day, who would you pick, and most importantly, why?

I would be Harry. I've always loved detective stories; the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Fox Mulder, and Adrian Monk. It'd be a joy to step into the role of a detective in Farmouth, investigating the mysteries of the island for a day...
