It's FINALLY HERE!!!! Port Aerion is a professional-grade, high-fidelity environment kit designed for creating dense, atmospheric Victorian-industrial metropolises. This kit bridges the gap between manual artistry and procedural speed, offering a comprehensive world-building solution for developers.

Port Aerion is a 50/50 partnership between New Jack Designs and Jason Pethtel. NJD built the architecture and city design blueprints, while Jason completed the materials, packaging and vfx/scenes.

Excited to share the first look at Port Aerion, the steampunk city kit for Unreal Engine Jason Pethtel and I have been building. We designed this kit with real production workflows in mind, combining handcrafted modular architecture, mechanical detail, and atmosphere tools with full CityBLD compatibility for fast layout and creative control.

If you work in VFX, games, virtual production, or cover tools and tech for the industry, we’re thrilled to give you an early preview of what we’ve been working on.

Welcome to Dracula's Castle and its landscape. We've named the project "Il Incubo Piranesi" in honour of Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an 19th century Italian architect. He took his nightmare vision and turned it into a loose structure.

Almost 200 years later, Hitoshi Akamatsu, a game director and developer at Konami, took the concept and ran with it. What came of it was Dracula's Castle nightmare castle. To your greatness!
