On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

I’m working on PROJECT NIRVANA, a prototype for a souls-like inspired by Buddhist mythology and meditation.
I’ve been learning Unreal, 2D / 3D art and combat game design from scratch, so THINGS WILL BE SCRAPPY! But I want to start sharing my dev journey, so let's go!
