Servo Lasher Model
Stardock Forums
By Nick Resa
Lashers, they can be either ranged attackers or melee, but either way they’re coming at you in swarms. Before the Lasher we had a beetle-like creature in the game that never really fit thematically. He just looked like a big bug, not the enraged bloom crazed enemy we were wanting to shoot at. We needed something that would fit with the game’s scale and still maintain believability in-game. One of the difficult tasks about making an RTS like Servo is finding the “right” scale. It’s a very delicate balance between reality and the Servo Universe, and our perception plays a big part of what is deemed as feeling correct.
The Lasher model sticks closely to the concept except you’ll notice that he’s a little thicker in some areas compared to the concept, as some design tweaks were made to insure readability while in game.
See you on the battlefield,
