Art Asset Overview #15
June 18th, 2011
This week for Overgrowth (which you can preorder here) I finally got the arena to the point where I am happy enough with the base assets to move on. This doesn't mean they're perfect, but if I don't get a chance to improve them before the game is finished I could still live with the current quality ...
Art Asset Overview #14
June 8th, 2011
This week for Overgrowth (which you can preorder here) I worked more on dressing up the arena with a few objects, like columns and buttresses.

Art Asset Overview #13 -- arena prototype
May 6th, 2011
This week for Overgrowth (which you can preorder here) I started prototyping the arena in the engine so that I could check the scale and get a feel for it.
