The Artist Life:
As I mentioned earlier, we're nearing the end of development, and with the game shipping on November 5th, we've been spending our time polishing up the game wherever possible, tweaking it here and there based on community feedback, and overall putting in those little final touches that really make the game what it is.
For Artists, this is typically when they start knocking out some of the support art assets for the game, like Gamerpics, Themes, Wallpapers, and other extra art goods. I've been checking out some of the concepts and prototypes they've been coming up with and I'm pretty stoked to finally sport some of these, such as this concept pack tentatively titled "CQB":
And this is just one of quite a few packs that they're working on. No ETA on when these may be available for download just yet, as the main focus right now is the beta and getting the final game finished and shipped. That said, we wanted to get started early on these pieces to make sure you guys have a good number of potential downloads to choose from before launch.
