Here’s a solo playthrough for anyone finding the game confusing. It’s easier and more fun in a group! youtu.be/RyYg_W2ySzQ?...

It initially got promoted in the middle of the night so I suspect it has a small following overseas. It hasn’t been promoted for weeks so anybody playing is seeing the thumbnail from playing prior and saying “I’ll give that a go again”

Amazing work!

A little late to this post but I tick all the boxes for this role and I'd love if you'd consider me for it - sorry for the bsky ping but this is where I found the posting and it's tough to get past the recruiter screen these days. lucas.hardi.org

Arcane is very much in the style of early 3D video game characters when lighting was painted into textures. Quake 3 (Kenneth Scott), WoW, Metal Gear Solid, etc. Most of the industry got snared by normal maps and then PBR texturing, but some (like Riot) stuck with the hand painted look

Hmm, I probably had Warhammer Elf marble on my brain after working on that a few years before. That said, it could be a granite from the way it looks. . . probably this sort of thing:
