Mirroring

A highly challenging stylistic choice for Towerborne was making characters mirror from left to right instead of fully rotate in 3d. For the VFX department this created several challenges that had to be overcome. I invite you to read about how we accomplished an incredible technical feat that is invisible to the end user.

A major feature in Towerborne was a possession mechanic called the “Dusker Overlay”. What started out as part of a narrow scope of enemies grew to a global possession mechanic with far reaching consequences. I invite you to read about how we took on this grand design challenge.
