The square once you enter Meridian city. Showing the final version of a handful of modular sets I worked on in pre-production.
There is a mountain of goods at the main gate waiting to get permission to be delivered into the city. When I dressed this area I wanted the heaps of boxes to parallax nicely as well as lead the player towards the gate.
The overseers tent, looking over the quarry. The overseer also has a quest for the player to fight a Rockbreaker.
