In gen:LOCK, a war of beliefs is being fought within populations around the world. There are no direct land borders, but clashes instead occur between those of alternate perspectives within the same location. The Union organizes in order to do a territory grab and form mono-culture areas, and the opposing side, the Polity, resists them. The cultural nature of the war is based on identity and the ability to fight while still preserving your own. This is tied into the pairing of people and the...

Conception and influences
The original concept for gen:LOCK was pitched in the summer of 2016, with pre-production beginning in late 2016. The series explores high-concept science fiction and features more mature themes compared to the concurrently running Rooster Teeth show RWBY.

Art and Design
While both are 3D animated shows, the art style of gen:LOCK is intended to be more realistic and detailed than RWBY. As such, it features many lens flares and a darker color palette when compared to RWBY's vibrant and soft colors. In addition to concept art created internally by Rooster Teeth artists, the team sought out collaborations with other artists such as Bach "Dishwasher1910" Do - whose fan art gained the attention of the company - and concept artist Gavin Manners.

gen:LOCKis animated at 24 frames per second and uses a 23:9 aspect ratio. It sometimes uses a special technique in 3D animation called animating "on twos", where certain assets are only animated once every two frames. This evokes a 2D animation style in the 3D environment. This technique is mostly applied to slower, conversational scenes, whereas fast-paced scenes have assets animated "on ones" for a smoother look. The second season uses a 1.78:1 (16:9) aspect ratio, different from the first...
