We’ve made some neat tweaks to adapt the game for GameNight and keep it feeling snappy. It will even utilize our rollback tech to run your inputs up to 2 frames in the past based on your network latency!

"The grass and dirt terrain blocks were tricky to make. After many iterations to get that hand-drawn sprite look, I think the final result is one of the best executions of that idea in the game."

"Environments pose unique challenges in Never’s End. With full 360° rotation, props can block key objects or enemies, so we build spaces with readability in mind, even cutting away walls when needed".

Are there any artists or games that influenced your style?
"Definitely the Square RPGs from the SNES era, like Final Fantasy and SaGa, as well as Ogre Battle."

Having a dynamic water simulation in a turn-based tactics world was one of the first problems we started working on 6 years ago.
