The Hellfest site modeled in 3D isometric
The iconic locations of Hellfest have been recreated for this digital version of the festival. Sparkk enlisted the artist Alex Bizar to create the various elements of the map and avatars. Sparkk was given significant creative freedom in crafting the universe, resulting in a cohesive design that allows visitors to immerse themselves quickly. Numerous nods and Easter eggs have been hidden throughout—will you be able to find them?

Managing a large crowd
Sparkk managed the hosting of the front-end and API platform. The event anticipated traffic ranging from 60,000 to 500,000 visitors per day. Therefore, we opted to use a load balancer that distributed the load across 20 identical servers. We also isolated the game assets (textures, images, avatars, etc.) into 20 different buckets. The API response was also stored in buckets. The architecture setup was done in collaboration with the Scaleway teams.
