"Usually the best you can get with the recent changes to the workshop system is 85%," he explains.īut, realistically, he thinks the dino-courier has a 5% chance of making it into the game at the most. Lebled checks the current ratings with his collaborator Yuri and apparently Faceless Rex is sitting at 97% positive votes. But a lot of people on YouTube and Reddit are loving him, it's very rewarding."Īt the moment the courier has its own page on Steam's Dota 2 Workshop and is accumulating votes from people who want it made available in the MOBA.
But the dinosaur crosses that weird threshold where something has enough effort put into it that people don't think of it as a joke at first. "I did another of Valve's fake concepts a while back - the Facefull Void - and that was unambiguously something that wasn't going to be real. Given the venture began as an April Fool, I asked at what point Lebled realised people might be expecting him to make his Faceless Rex an in-game reality: Here's the video Lebled posted yesterday - the little roar at the end is my favourite bit:Īs Lebled told IGN, the courier isn't game-ready at the moment and with more time he would have added accoutrements like the traditional courier rucksack or pouch to reflect the creature's role in the game - the Steam Workshop comments suggest a little chronosphere backpack which would get my vote. I'm used to being able to answer every question I'm being asked in the chat, in-depth, while still working, but that quickly became impossible! "When Cyborgmatt tweeted out one of my work-in-progress shots a couple days ago I was quietly streaming my work on Twitch, as I sometimes do, and my usual viewership of 10 skyrocketed into 750," Lebled told me. Over on Twitter he was billing it as "something special for April Fools' day" but his livestream of the work-in-progress was met with rather more enthusiasm from fans than he'd expected after a tweet from community stalwart Cyborgmatt.
Lucky for us then that French animator, Maxime Lebled, and workshop artist, Yuri Shust, ended up turning the concept into a reality of sorts, fleshing it out as an animated courier model.
#Dota 2 faceless void update#
Remember when Valve dropped a bunch of faux-concepts for a Faceless Void update along with the Dota 2 character's actual factual model update? One was the glorious Faceless Rex, a dino time wizard with whom I (and a whole bunch of other people) instantly fell in love.
