In Episode 10 of Stay Awhile, and Listen, we’re joined by Jordan Powers, Lead Prop Artist on World of Warcraft at Blizzard Entertainment.

Together we explore the art and philosophy behind building immersive fantasy worlds, what goes into creating atmosphere in games, and how Blizzard’s environments become places players remember for years. Jordan shares insight into his creative journey, the collaborative nature of game development, and the artistic details that help bring worlds like Azeroth to life.

From worldbuilding and visual storytelling to the emotional impact of memorable environments, this conversation offers a fascinating look behind the curtain at the craft of Blizzard game art.

Please Note: We recorded this on Feb 3rd, before the ladder reset announcement.

BreakYoBaals, Crudesash, Tyreal Archea, and special guest Smalps discuss our new discord server (link below), the upcoming Blizzard Diablo Showcase on Feb. 11th, speculation of what's to come for Diablo 2: Resurrected, and finally - Darkhaven - the ARPG currently in development by some of the original Blizzard North creators of D2.

Sorry for the choppy audio - we ran a test before recording and it was fine. We'll make sure to get this fixed for future episodes.

Special thanks to our Community Supporters: Jonks, Krassel, PlaNATEtary, TruckerDuckyX95, Uniquesash, and vifron!
