Great project, love the atmosphere. The only thing I would say from the video is the Z-fighting from 1.40 is abit distracting. Other than that, awesome stuff :D
There's also the xNormal plugins for Photoshop, and the older Nvidia tools. Both convert heightmaps to normal maps (black: low areas; 127 grey: no Z change; white: high areas).
I once had a shirt that showed the aftermath of a car crash and underneath said "Ctrl-Z". Very few people got it, but it gave me a chuckle when people got it :]
the last character was kind of based of Goku and Dragonball Z. This is based more off of Hyper Light Drifter. wireframe some alternate suits and colors
Haha I have some awesome friends. Check out this little commercial some fellow polycounters made. http://www.youtube.com/v/Z-gT-oe2s-c "Now I'm the one doing the ganking." hahahha
