I recently came across the original CD-ROM in which artist Hugh Jamieson delivered the original Shady O'Grady's™ Rising Star cover art. It's dated 9/22/05, which means as of two days ago it's been 20 years since he created this cover art. However, the game itself wasn't released
I recently came across the original CD-ROM in which artist Hugh Jamieson delivered the original Shady O'Grady's™ Rising Star cover art. It's dated 9/22/05, which means as of two days ago it's been 20 years since he created this cover art. However, the game itself wasn't released for another year and a half.
Nowadays many people would probably look at this and say it's AI art (I get a lot of that lately - check out the Shrouded Aspect discussions), but this clearly pre-dates AI-generated images. It was done digitally, though I can't confirm what program he used.
I've never actually met Hugh in person. I found him on deviantart.com and sent him a message. He was nice enough to cut me a good deal on this custom work, because he liked the project.
Apparently, Hugh is still at it, creating cool art. Check out Hugh's web site https://hughjamiesonart.com/

I improved performance when checking whether the South America DLC has been unlocked. Now the actual call to the Steam API is only done once per session, and then cached for future lookups.

A lot of manual setup is required to allow for the custom t-shirt designs, which is why it was limited to 30. I decided to write a tool to automate this process and have raised to limit to 1000. That should be more than enough.
