Been really excited to get this out there!

Arranger feels (surprisingly?) great on mobile, especially at 60fps now. And you can finally support it with your money!

I watched it with my kid and she turned to me during that sequence and said "Dad, that's you in the apocalypse".

Ralpha Fienees and Maiden's Number of the Beast is a perfect match that I did not expect and is now one of my favorite moments in cinema.

Very early on in the project, when I was still searching for tone, I experimented with a how the game title might build/form. I wasn't even sure what the game would be called back then, but sometimes these little experiments wind up connecting in surprising ways. (Done with Blender)

I'm bringing it! if folks want to play, we'll have it. I still have only run it one time with the new "corpse collection" mechanic.

It can be challenging. This scene used very little landscape (although other scenes in Keeper do use more). Usually getting different elements to gel is a combination of lighting, composition, local color, foliage + decals. Also make sure you are working from the gameplay camera if possible.

Not silly at all! MOST games do assembly in editor for memory, performance, and efficiency reasons. This facilitates things like culling, instancing, and other benefits. That being said, all games are different and even in a heavy kitted game, there are still "hero pieces" that are built differently
