AWOL artwork
August 6th, 2010
Before settling on Overgrowth, David and I kicked around a few different ideas. We have a lot of leftover concepts, screenshots, and art assets from trying out these ideas, so I thought we should show them to you! One of these ideas, called AWOL, was a mouse-only cover shooter game inspired by the classic arcade game Cabal. Here is a ...
Blender as an animation editor
