SpongeBob: The Cosmic Shake is a 3D platformer developed by Purple Lamp Studios using Unreal Engine. Released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The Game combines classic SpongeBob humor with modern platforming elements, delivering an exciting experience for fans and newcomers alike.
As Lead Technical artist, I managed a team of three, drove the visual restyling process while ensuring optimal quality and performance across all platforms.
Work smarter, not harder.
At Purple Lamp, I led the development of SBR (SpongeBob-Based Rendering), an advanced method for materials and asset management that optimized our production pipeline. By automating key processes and improving asset handling efficiency, we were able to deliver 8 game-ready levels in just 10 months, drastically reducing development time.
Beyond accelerating production, SBR also enhanced visual quality by refining asset workflows, ensuring both higher fidelity and consistent performance across the game.
Visually, The Cosmic Shake is a clear step up from the Battle for Bikini Bottom remaster […] the worlds are far more expansive than before and employ a deeper color palette, giving each one a sharp and distinctive look that sets it apart.
