Since embarking on the huge endeavor to completely revamp the entire Kristala demo, we've had our artists and modelers working hard to recreate some of the props and environmental elements that already existed in the original Dalamase demo level. Here's a look at just some of the props Harold was able to complete this month.

It skips from action to pvp games to puzzles to boss fights with blinding speed. Props to them for trying. All killer, no filler. The Gameplay and Graphics of It Takes Two All excellent. This is a really fun game. The gameplay is infinitely varied. The entire game changes every few minutes, and it's terrific. I've met those people.

We also really love how authentically Nisargan all the furniture pieces and props Harold created feel. Props on props on props. 3D Generalist Joe was another talented team member to work on modeling and texturing a few props that will be handed off to our level designers and placed in Nisar (and beyond).

none of Dishonored's morality system and I think this is good, the "stealth puzzle = humane cage free assassination" philosophy has aged poorly imo 69% less stealth. They're small little bottles that blend-in with junk prop set dressing from a distance. And they usually do! Like 2-4 piles per arena. see screenshot above).
