Heavy Study

Trying to push the bulkiness in the heavy. It was decided at the meeting that the first level will be in the shipping hanger located at the bottom level of the low-orbiting space station. The first waves of machines the player will encounter will be multipurpose heavy bots, lower level foot soldiers, and snipers. I've been doing pencil sketches of the sniper and will be making Photoshop images soon. Further, Ryan and Adad will be teaming up to develop a refined design for this level.
The is a deadline to get as much mockette assets (place holders) in by December in order to showcase proof-of-concept at the USC demo day. Further refinement will continue after this, so this is NOT a release deadline. More like a milestone.
This will mean that I have to hammer out the final designs of the mechs ASAP so that I can create a scale model stand-in for the animators to work with. It'll be a "place holder" but the truth of the matter is that it will probably not change. It'll end up in the game somehow, so I gotta make sure the rig they animate is solid so that they won't have to redo all their work.
The body parts could be boxes, but the scale and proportions HAVE to be locked down soon.
