User blog:SandwaveK/Analyzing screenshots from an Environment Artist

Recently I've found some pictures posted by Rob Steptoe, environment artist on TimeSplitters 1 and 2 who has left Free Radical Design in September 2001 and came back in July 2005. I quickly realized that these pictures are a little special, so let's have a look and see what we can learn from these.

Chinese
This is the only screenshot taken on Chinese and it's from the 1st June. As you can see there are posters on the wall just like in the retail version, which means that the screenshots from Rob Steptoe have been taken from a build prior to June 2000.

Siberia
If the wooden plank and the sky are different indeed, then the build in Rob Steptoe's screenshots is prior to the TimeSplitters 2 announcement date.
