Since embarking on the huge endeavor to completely revamp the entire Kristala demo, we've had our artists and modelers working hard to recreate some of the props and environmental elements that already existed in the original Dalamase demo level. Here's a look at just some of the props Harold was able to complete this month.

I can get bored (well, more distracted) drawing the same battery prop or asset 150 times, all with slight variations. In this piece I completed for term two, Beowulf is fighting Grendel's mother, reaching for the magical sword that he can use to finally defeat her. What good would that be in a fight? Beowulf by Oliver.

As the parents fight their way through the crawl-space, attic, clock, and extra-planer wonderlands in their house, you will hear them whine, complain, and deliver constant passive-aggressive insults.

They are props to make the playground seem lived in, like the woman in the princess costume at Disneyland. Here we come to the biggest complaint levelled against Shenmue III by its detractors: the kung fu fighting isn't good enough. But this is paradoxically not a game about kung fu fighting at all.

Next, James tackled some of the effects that will be featured in the epic mini-boss fight for Lophi the Lost, including effects for Lophi's Teleport, Staff Parry, and Spear Slam maneuvers.

The value of new Axies and SLP is propped up by new players putting fresh money into the game. Further, there are also two Boss Fights at Levels 21 and 36, which give the player 200 and 300 one-time SLP rewards. The current game could continue to grow for a while, but its current economic policies are fundamentally unsustainable.

This would include concept artist, environment artist, lighting artist, texture artist, prop artist, producer to keep track of it all, QA to test it, etc. So, for example, lets start with environments: How many people do we need to construct one environment?
