Studio presentation
Every month each studio Team makes a presentation of their monthly results for the entire studio. I decided to make a retrospective of our first PVE mission developed for Warface codenamed Endor, which you can see finalized above.
The presentation is made in a bit of a comical manner, showing how the team should've gathered references for the mission, but that is just me on vacation :D
