"We invite the community in for a sneak peek behind the scenes to explore our new characters in development, plus other stunning assets in motion. Enjoy!"Dear Community,
As our NEW character concepts are all complete, we would like to take this opportunity to showcase them. This is just a rare treat seeing as they are very interesting and give you an idea of what is going on behind the scenes, once again!
Take all the latest media screenshots and slowly start to piece it together, then hopefully... you should have a good idea of how the game will look and the high level of detail we are trying to achieve.
If not, the below should help you visualise...

While our level, modelling and sound teams working flat out, the rest of us have been busy... yes, really!
In the last week alone, we can confirm all 1st person weapon models are done!! Only some need a few tweaks here and there, but in all - the majority are good to go.
Dandy has started to skin and rig the 1st person player arms for animating, which will then lead us on to animating all the weapons... a slow and tedious task, but one that is critical!
This is a long drawn out task, one which shall certainly put Dandy's skills to the test. Having someone on board with his ability is certainly priceless in pushing production and keeping up motivation within the team. Tarrick together with Autopsy and GuyB are working towards stripping our weapons to provide additional 3rd person and pickup model versions.
Since our modelers and artists have been racking up libraries worth of assets in recent months, we have an overflow of beauty just itching to be shown to the community, so here are more images for your big-bold eyes to take pleasure upon.

Alongside this, Spin has been working flat out, nearly full time tweaking code, fixing some bugs, getting some assets in-game and giving direction to our weapons team combined with creating some great internal video tutorials to help in all departments. Top stuff.
