Highguard - Trader Flynn's Cart

In Highguard the Trader known as Flynn was one of the characters players needed to visit often in matches to upgrade their weapons and armor.
Using concept art provided by Cristina Laviña Ferez, Gabriel Yeganyan, and Gabriel Brandt, I tried to bring Flynn's space to life and it was a fun assignment. I did the modeling, world building, and also tweaked existing assets in order to save time while working with one of our Lead Designers Mohammad Alavi to ensure the interactable art aligned with his blockout.

Paul Tran and I sync-ed up our shared shaders and technical bits for the second version of the cart that lived in his Siege Tower level instance. Jose Zavala also helped us with Unreal technical questions so we could get everything working properly together and he did a few final bug tweaks.

Gary Do helped provide the modelshop teams' weapon meshes for the cart that I could repurpose and adjust for environment art needs. Many props used to help make this were from the Wildlight asset library which was contributed to by other artists on the team.

Lighting was done by Robert Taube.

Characters done by Mirim Lee.

Highguard shipped in January 2026 for the XBox Series S/X, PS5, and PC/Steam.
