It's been a while since my last post. I've been working diligently on The Grind. Over the last 10 weeks The Grind has gone through numerous changes, including a complete rework of the art direction. We've decided on going for a more stylized cartoon/illustration inspired look. Our new direction not only goes better with the comedic theme of our game but also looks a lot better at the average view distance. We've also decided to scrap the use of normal maps.
Overall our new direction has received mostly positive feedback and for the first time the whole art team has a clear idea of where we are going. I will be posting more often in the next few weeks, and will have numerous art samples to share. Until next time!
