Just thinking about that time FFXIV casually used some of the rarest mounts for an event side quest, which is the only time I've ever witnessed the model in-game

Trying to catch up and get started on #blocktober projects, but still tied up with work so here's just a little blockout progress for my Halo x Dark Souls level I've been chipping away at. (Hopefully will be finished at a playable/testable state this weekend 🤞)

Screenshot of a blockout from Halo Infinite's forge editor, showing buildings blocked out in grey, a small plains, and rising towers.

Screenshot of a blockout from Halo Infinite's forge editor. Larger towers have been added and a dominating wall enclosing a city section, a rough blocky cathedral at its peak.

Screenshot of a blockout from Halo Infinite's forge editor. A winding cavern area has been added to the start of the level, emerging into large room that enters the rest of the level.

Screenshot of a blockout from Halo Infinite's forge editor. The areas are more filled out and colour added to the plains. A large, empty tower has been added of to the side, and tight rooms connected with rooms sits behind the central mass of buildings.
