Some of the enemy face variety in Gust of Wind, done by randomizing blendshapes.

I tried a hood on the character. I don't know what I'll do yet but I'm mostly leaning towards the original look.

Since the game's EA launch half a year, I've been focusing a lot on optimization. I made a post describing some methods I've used and showing the progress I've made: https://gustofwindgame.com/blog/?p=184

A thick morning haze in Gust of Wind, consisting of volumetric clouds (new in Unity 2021.2 beta), and some fog particles and volumetric fog.
