Some further details were announced on Airship's new AAA game project; it's an online, character based, third-person action game set in a new and original world. They've also said it will be a free to play (F2P) game with hopes of creating a thriving community and world for people to play in for years to come. As such the title will be online and always evolving.

When asked about the game engine, they are currently developing the game in Unreal Engine 4 (UE4), with plans to migrate it to Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) before the full game releases.

Hollywood Reporter Interview with Joe Madureira and new Battle Chasers 10 Artwork by Ludo Lullabi

Joe Madureira did a small interview with The Hollywood Reporter about the in-progress continuation of Battle Chasers 10-12 written by Joe and drawn by Ludo Lullabi. I'll pull out some of the highlights below. About Battle Chasers 10: The new comic is due to hit by year’s end, once again from publisher Image Comics, and will be followed monthly by no. 11 and no. 12, with a goal to tell a complete story arc. Madureira is writing the comic but, as opposed to the previous issues, not drawing. Instead, he handed those duties to Ludo Lullabi, whom he discovered while making 2017’s Battle Chasers: Nightwar role playing game. He does plan on drawing variant covers , however.

Take your pick. I use them all. Sometimes I work on paper that’s a little different ( smoother or more coarse ) and I may move up or down to an H or a B lead if needed. But I find H and 2H digs into the pap er and is too hard to erase ( Which sadly I do a lot of ) and B is too soft ( smudges like a mofo.) B is fantastic for going back over lines, darkening , and adding weight to your lines. Basically, ‘inking’ with a pencil. **Just keep a sheet of scrap paper under your hand or you will smudge the shit out of your drawing!!!** HB suits my needs 99% of the time. Really no need to switch it out, just adjust your pressure. Harder or...
