Screenshot from game, SABOTAGE on Steam. Environment / background is a construction zone. There are 2 automated forklift bots: one in the background and one in the left mid-ground. They have orange bodies, dark heads and a semi-sinister styled single red eye, shaped like a long horizontal LED bar. There is a visible grid pattern on ground, since the game is still early prototype and the environment is a blockout, which uses a lot of primitive + placeholder shapes. The hero (player character) is more finished than previous images. The model is getting much closer to final in-game art. Your character is a professional smuggler, who also happens to be a robot. They stand on the right side of the picture, in the foreground, looking at camera. The top of the robot is humanoid in terms of shapes (arms, torso), but the head is more of display and cabinet. Nothing like a human skull, more like a CRT display. The eyes are digital LED display. No mouth is shown. Smuggler Bot is also very safety conscious. Since they are standing in a construction zone, they are wearing a hard hat. It's just for the effect & theme of the post. It is not the default decoration for your character. The lower half is a single tire/wheel combo that looks techno-future. The robot is wearing a trendy straw cowboy hat with brown band. The SABOTAGE logo (oval shaped, rounded letters with a purple gradient and white stroke outline) is visible in the lower left corner. Skylight Studios Logo (a sky blue slanted rectangle - aka parallelogram - with the studio name in white letters overlaid) is in the lower right corner. .

Screenshot from game, SABOTAGE on Steam. Environment / background is wide open green field, with rolling hills and beautiful blue sky in the background that features light cloud cover. The environment art in this image is empty (to facilitate the polo ground / Coachella wise crack). There is a visible a grid pattern on grass, since the game is still early prototype and the environment is a blockout. The hero (player character) is more finished. The model is closer to final in-game art. Your character is a professional smuggler, who also happens to be a robot. They stand in the center of the picture, looking at camera. The top of the robot is humanoid in terms of shapes (arms, torso), but the head is more of display and cabinet. Nothing like a human skull, more like a CRT display. The eyes are digital LED display. No mouth is shown The lower half is a single tire/wheel combo that looks techno-future. The robot is wearing a trendy straw cowboy hat with brown band. The SABOTAGE logo (oval shaped, rounded letters with a purple gradient and white stroke outline) is visible in the lower left corner. Skylight Studios Logo (a sky blue slanted rectangle - aka parallelogram - with the studio name in white letters overlaid) is in the upper right corner.

Image is the player character robot for Sabotage the game. This picture is has 2 unique properties: 1st, the character is in a t-pose. Arms are raised straight out to the side. This view is common in 3D modeling pipelines during modeling & rigging phase. 2nd, the character surfaces are "hidden" or off and the image is of the character model wireframe, which shows the individual triangles that compose the geometry of the model. The mesh (of triangles) in this model snapshot is also displaying colors to match the surfaces / textures that appear on the model when materials & textures -- surfaces -- are rendered. Our hero character is a professional smuggler, who also happens to be a robot. The top of the robot is humanoid in terms of shapes (arms, torso), but the head is more of a hybrid mix of helmet and monitor. It has more in common with the shape and design of the colorful iMacs from 25 years ago than it does with a human skull. We believe everything goes better with music, our bot is normally sporting some purple “over-ear” headphones, but those are not included in this rev of the model. The torso levitates or floats. There is no "waist" connection. The lower half of our hero is a single tire and wheel combo, with a fender... because mud is a thing. The SABOTAGE logo (oval shaped, rounded letters with a purple gradient and white stroke outline) is visible in the lower left corner. Skylight Studios Logo (a sky blue slanted rectangle - aka parallelogram - with the studio name in white letters overlaid) is in the upper right corner. Copyright 2025 Skylight Studios watermark is overlaid on the image too.

Screenshot of Title screen for the game "SABOTAGE" Environment / background is a basic, grey room, with a grid pattern on floor and walls. The hero (player character) is a professional smuggler, who also happens to be a robot. They stand on the left side of the screen. The top of the robot is humanoid in terms of shapes (arms, torso). The anatomy of the body is a combo of white hard surface material components (chest, arms, hands) and black flex where joints should be. The head is more of display and cabinet. Nothing like a human skull, more like a CRT display, or boxy monitor with purple headphones therone. The eyes are digital LED display. No mouth is shown The lower half is a single tire/wheel combo that looks techno-future. A large case that looks a bit like a futuristic foot locker is akimbo on the robot's back. On the right side of the screen: a pile of loot and danger? Statues, art, and explosives, and (wait for it) an upright piano. In the middle of the screen is a tower of UI for the player from top to bottom the elements are: Sabotage Game Logo in rounded all caps, with purple-pink gradient and drop shadow A yellow banner that says "Gameplay Prototype" (making sure people know this is not done, this is a work in progress) Button: Wishlist on Steam Button: Join on Discord Button: Give Feedback Button: Settings (game settings) Button: Exit Game The visuals are all prototype, early placeholder models; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible in the edges of the screen: pause button, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost. The SABOTAGE logo (oval shaped, rounded letters with a purple gradient and white stroke outline) is visible in the lower left corner. Skylight Studios Logo (a sky blue slanted rectangle - aka parallelogram - with the studio name in white letters overlaid) is in the upper right corner. Copyright 2025 Skylight Studios watermark is overlaid on the image too.

Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE." A delivery robot (player character) is grinding the rail of an electric blue track that travels over water in a canyon, as sparks fly from the wheel + tire, mining car NPCs approach the player and are visible on the other side of the tracks (left side of screen) too. The visuals are all prototype, early placeholder models; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible in the edges of the screen: pause button, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost. The SABOTAGE logo (oval shaped, rounded letters with a purple gradient and white stroke outline) is visible in the lower left corner. Skylight Studios Logo (a sky blue slanted rectangle - aka parallelogram - with the studio name in white letters overlaid) is in the upper right corner.

Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE." A delivery robot (player character) stands in a moody, sepia toned underground bunker looking environment. This is the bad Severance joke made in the main post. It looks like a big, long, wide, rectangular tunnel. There is a boost speed pad visible in the background, and just beyond that... a ramp down into the underworld of Sabotage. Maybe not quite as sinister as that, but - you know: MARKETING! The visuals are all prototype, early placeholder models; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible in the edges of the screen: pause button, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost. The SABOTAGE logo (oval shaped, rounded letters with a purple gradient and white stroke outline) is visible in the lower left corner.

Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE." A delivery robot (player character) is gliding gloriously, in the style of Mary Poppins, with a rainbow umbrella as impromptu hang-glider, over a valley and hills speckled with trees / forest. Blue sky spotted with clouds in the distance, along with a few mountain ranges and views of the cityscape, canyon, and bodies of water. There is a LOT to explore. The visuals are all prototype, early placeholder models; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible in the edges of the screen: pause button, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost.

This is a black & white image. That teases the new hero design for Sabotage player character. White background with black silhouette of the player character, which is a higher fidelity and more complex shapes than the current in-game place holder model. Key elements of the anatomy are a single wheel / tire on the botttom. The torso floats above and has to arms that look very mechanical, but roughly similar to a human torso or anatomy. An antenna protrudes from the right shoulder. The head looks much more "robotic" in that the shapes & countour are decidely helmet like, with some visible flatter surfaces and angles. The SABOTAGE logo (oval shaped, rounded letters with a purple gradient and white stroke outline) is visible in the lower left corner. Skylight Studios Logo (a sky blue slanted rectangle - aka parallelogram - with the studio name in white letters overlaid) is in the upper right corner. Copyright 2025 Skylight Studios is overlaid in the center, under the character silhouette.
New stuff: world is MUCH bigger!
There's even a new Severance level 😂 (jk!)

Screenshot taken in the "Gym" exploration / workshop section of the game, Sabotage. The player character - a robot, with a single wheel tire, two armed torso and wearing purple headphones - is standing on a flat gray plain, with a grid pattern texture, and the character has their back to camera. In front of the player: 2 ginormous (that's a word, right?) police bots dwarf the player. They are much larger than anything seen in the prototype thus far, standing probably 4 or 5 times taller than we do. They have a single, glowing red bar for an eye. Tiny little black antenna is centered on their head. Physically, they are a large, very dark in color. They give off big-time monolith vibes. Fun shapes for exploration are visible in the background, but I don't know if I can past these two bouncers in my way, if I'm honest. Sabotage game logo is in the lower left corner. Skylight Studios logo is in the lower right corner. Player XP and coin balance UI is in the upper left.
Guess we don't need to ask the Po-Bots how their #bulking regimen is going... 😲
Come check out SABOTAGE!
Getting into the demo is much easier than getting past these 2.

Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE" A delivery robot (player character) has a really heavy and cumbersome delivery in the form of a large metal safe on their back. As if life wasn't hard enough, the poor robot is also dragging a very large boat anchor behind them. A time in the upper right corner of the screen indicates how much longer the robot will have to suffer the additional challenge. Smuggler robots are a competitive bunch. They like to mess with each other. Overlay text on the right side of the image says "Don't Drive Angry" in an homage to Groundhog Day. (That movie slaps). The visuals are all prototype placeholder models; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible: pause, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost. The SABOTAGE logo is overlaid in the lower left corner.
Happy Groundhog Day! 😉
TFW your friend Sabotages your delivery with the anchor.
