SWTOR Making of Rise of the Hutt Cartel
Part 1: Creating Makeb
In this new video, SWTOR Developers begin sharing details of Makeb's creation and role in the ongoing Galactic story.
Makeb is a visually stunning planet with cities built atop rocky mesas. The previously neutral, resource-rich planet is now the target of the Hutt Cartel. The Republic and Empire want a piece of it to prevent a growing threat and one-up the opposing faction.
Gravity Hooks
Gravity Hooks are described as massive turbolifts used to travel between space and Makeb because the planet's atmosphere disrupts traditional space travel.
New Graphics Technology: Flowing Water
To create the natural landscape of Makeb, Rise of the Hutt Cartel brings SWTOR the technology to render flowing water with really crisp quality.
Teasers
With the promise of more information in the coming weeks, the devs leave us with a few teaser shots of what looks like scanning an area ala Darth Maul, a large new type of droid, and a snippet of someone riding a fast-moving vehicle.
Additionally, a Developer Blog about Makeb's art style featuring concepts went up a few hours after the posting of this video.
