Dispatch artist picked up on ArtStation as 'last resort'

Dispatch stands out among Telltale-likes for its animation, character designs and strong visual artstyle. Yet the game's main character and concept artist, Lap Pun Cheung, was picked up on ArtStation as a last resort to get developer AdHoc Studio through the pitching phase.

That came out during a Dispatch panel at this year's GDC. "At the very start of things, we needed some good looking art to play in the pitch deck," explains co-founder Dennis Lenart.

It was an unlikely route, but finding Cheung helped set AdHoc on the right foot toward one of the most successful games of the year.
