How did the Scythe come about?

Well, that was way before me. That was during the original trailer and the fan funding in 2012. Chris Roberts had an artist named Jim Martin come up with a bunch of different designs. And we knew it was going to be our main bad guy. And I think that the original inspiration was, if I can say it, Kilrathi-inspired. Right, but new, improved, cooler, better, different. So he came up with great designs, models built, CGBot built the final game asset. It was in the trailer. It looked great. That was a long time ago, though, before we all kind of got into the groove.
