Hacker characters to feature in OFF GRID: Mustafa, Jake, Darren, March, Lauri
This will be a very cool feature of the game as it builds on the
notion of exploring hacker culture in the game world with an
authenticity that is hard to come by in mainstream media.
It will
give the hackers themselves the chance to tell some of their stories
about the future of the internet, and if this proves popular, will
provide something to really expand upon.
Some of the early concept art
We have found it hard to keep from blurting this one out, and it has been excruciating working on the art without saying anything. Turns out well known hackers know how to keep a secret too!
Hacktion figures
We have exported the models in a 3D printable .stl format so that you can print your own characters from the game.
Ever wanted your own Lauri Love action figure?
