Brad McQuaid offered Vanguard fans a treat when he posted a
collection of screenshots of Vanguard zones that are currently in
development and unfinished. He commented on the first two
screenshots of a dungeon saying:



"[Here's] a different sort of screenshot for today while we wait for
more movies. We don't do this very often. [These are] screenshots of
a dungeon that's may be half done, if that. They're taken from the
actual engine, but using the tools artists can use to look at
dungeons and landscapes from a different perspective. Anyway, I
thought it would be cool to release some true
work in progress for a dungeon. Disclaimer: it's like I said, half
done? Lots of flaws and incompleteness. That said, I still think
it's pretty exciting to see what some of the fantastic (e.g. fantasy
+ crazy cool) work that's been going on."



Take a look at the dungeon screenshots and see if you agree.

McQuaid later released another batch of screenshots. He confirmed
that the second shot is of the continent of Thestra. Shots featuring
Asian-inspired architecture are likely of Kojan.
