Looking good, Cannot wait to play this. I am a big fan of advance wars and valkyria chronicles so this will be right up my alley.

Hi erikwijnands,

I guess we took inspiration from native americans in the sense that the people of Antare live off the land and treat their planet with respect. The whole premise of our game world is that this planets inhabitants had a social structure that blended primitive beliefs and culture with modern technology.

Azaer lives in a time where the technological knowledge of his people has regressed and so they rely much more on their heritage and skills to live off the land as best they can. Azaer is dressed quite primitively but by the end of our game he packs some pretty awesome weaponry =)

graks are only a threat in large numbers, think like a dog. Besides our character comes equipped with a personal force field, a hunting bow, a spear, a sword and a primitive fire arm... so he is packing =)

This render shows Azaer in his low poly form as well as a mesh smoothed version. The detail however will be done in Zbrush later this week. Armour and clothing to come very very soon.

This is just a screen shot of some of the new assets in the editor. They look a hell of a lot nicer in the actual level, Port of Yagomir. =D

He is Galen, a young man who is in charge of maintaining the delicate and ancient devices that allow life to continue on Antare. He is a similar age to Azaer, although not posessing the Altairon gene, he is much thinner and shorter than his close friend.

He can usually be found crawling under machinery or trying to invent a new device in his engineering workshop!

Indeed, It's hard not too when the anatomy and shape is near perfect! The grak was called a Land Shark before we gave it a true name.

Was thinking of adding a huge bony protrusion on the top of its skull and changig part of its physiology to differentiate it a bit.
