I was inspired by David's weekly videos to make something of my own. It may take me a few weeks to get the hang of it, but here is my first try. Be sure to watch it in HD (this is the first video we've posted in 1080p)! If you liked this video, be sure to subscribe to ...

Modular characters
November 25th, 2010
Here is an initial test of modular assets. Unlike our current test critters, these characters are made up from different models that you can combine in interesting ways.

When we were first starting work on Overgrowth, I made a vow not to shave my beard beard until the foundation of our game's combat system was implemented. Over the course of our development ...
