I've been very impressed with the screen shots I've seen of the game.

Do your artists create the worlds by drawing things mostly from their imaginations? Or do they find a physical model to draw from?

i believe the term "pre-rendered" used in the feature list means the artists will have to build the model of the enviornment then texture it using hand-drawn mapping, after that, its all magic....

Most of the graphics that you will see throughout the game were created through the artists’ and designers’ imaginations. It was not our intention to design the worlds from a preexisting physical model.
