I did a blog last month about how everyone bitches that the sausage men aren't hl2 characters. The team had a few discussions and Dan tried a new wrinkley skin.
And at first I wasn't sure. I kind of hated it. Then after a week I looked at the flat old skins and I hated them. So now we're all in on wrinkley imperfect skin.
Obviously we need different levels of imperfect, but even the least imperfect should have imperfections.
I really love this direction, the further away from the clean and trendy metaverse characters the better.
