That's all folks! Was a fun trip down memory lane doing this breakdown and the response has been encouraging, so will do more in the future!

@ProfessorOfSass.bsky.social is the incredible artist behind all this and everyone should go follow her! 👏 😤

Here's a more recent concept Rose did for Birdy circa April 2025, and the team loved it, cause of course we did??

LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE TOGETHER 😭

As we continued work on the Wanderer, we started calling our companion character "Birdy" internally and that stuck around!

We pinned down our visual inspiration to L0-LA59 from Star Wars, and Rose started some explorations in that direction

Every hero needs a sidekick, and the Wanderer is no exception!

In the background, @ProfessorOfSass.bsky.social explored ideas for companions, here’s a first take we didn't go with

I may have just read "Save The Cat" for the 1st time and gotten too excited

9 different sketches and concepts for different kinds of robot cat companions

Here's that same shot with a stylization shader that Substance Painter provides out of the box

An early test for our stylized texturing workflow

April 2025: @ProfessorOfSass.bsky.social finishes up retopologizing in Maya and gets to work on texturing and modelling the Wanderer's clothes and accessories

The addition of a "crotch-harness" was a hotly debated topic at this point

March 2025: @ProfessorOfSass.bsky.social blazes through the high-poly sculpts in ZBrush and then retopologizes the sculpts down to this low-poly guy here in Maya

The mesh is about 50% done, the other 50% is belts & cloth!

Thanks so much for the kind words! The colors we're going with are still an open question, will drop this in our dev chat!

Red is classic game protagonist but we personally liked the Blue/Cyan vibes more
