Adventure & Innovation Journey To Yourland trailer
In 2023, ThePack created their first full-length animated feature entirely inside a game engine — a bold move that redefined what’s possible in animation. By working in real time, the team could iterate faster, collaborate seamlessly, and achieve cinematic quality without traditional rendering delays. At the core of this workflow were SYNK tools, bridging the gap between creative vision and technical execution. SYNK enabled ThePack to adapt their pipeline to real-time production and has since become a cornerstone of their future projects. This milestone marks not just a first for ThePack, but a shift in the industry — where SYNK helps studios unlock new, faster, and more creative ways of storytelling.
