| Community | Developer Blog #4 - Cloudy With a Chance of Being Replaced "I thought you guys already had clouds..." Our game has been present in development using planes and jpegs for skies for almost entirety of it's existence. I have used this approach in both of the trailers to achieve some pretty decent results.

The game has come a tremendously long way since our first simple asset store-purchased animation pack, the first in-house animated sprite of an idly standing unnamed hero (who later will becom… | — |

We would like to pay our respects to every team who delivers their project – no matter how small or big it is. It's a tremendous achievement. After REPLACED initial annou… | — |

Trash on the streets, old dumpsters, phone booths, lamps, post boxes, cars, retro computers — you name it... I think we got it… somewhere. With this level of detail and amount of stuff to create we had to come up with a consistent workflow for creating environment assets that… | — |
