addedCharacter and Enemy WorkWhen it comes to enemies, we have begun to work on them. As you can see, they're coming out great! We've also added long range version in the game.

changedNarrative and DialogueWe have laid out the narrative foundations and "lore" for our game, and have moved on to creating dialogue for the character, PA Systems, and Audio Logs to bring that world to life!

Environment Art Planning

With the foundations of our game laid out, we are able to move on to the making the game look great! Our environment artists used place holder assets to give a feel to the game, while also giving us an idea of the workload required. This helped us reach the decision to use handmade assets where possible, and pre-made assets where necessary!
