Happy New Year
New Character Models
We were lucky enough to bring some incredible talent to the team in 2025, Zmay went hard on these new character models and helped implement the foundation for our armor system. The new characters are far more performant and optimized than the previous and will give a lot more room for artists to create insanely cool gear for everyone
See the full details here:

High Poly sculpt of the female is complete, hand-painting is in progress to match the male
Danimator joined us to help polish and refine our animations, expect some super cool and more polished vibes in 2026!
Next step is to convert armor from low-poly over to hand-painted
let us know any feedback or ideas in # general - if you hate any of the current armor, now's your chance to tell us.
