How can a videogame be in development for 5+ years, but have up to date graphics when it releases?
In: 149
The core of graphics techniques haven’t changed that much in the last 9 years, and the engine/graphics programming teams are constantly refining and updating the rendering code during development.
The way artists create assets for the current techniques have barely changed at all in this time. In the development of a game, finalizing the art is one the later things to happen, early on in development most of a game will look like basic blocky gray environments with maybe a first draft of the player character assets.
