Photos taken by the developers of the Stalker game series have been released on the Internet. These are high-quality photos of the area around the Chornobyl exclusion zone. This is another amazing insight into the development of the Stalker games. And how the textures for the game were sourced. As well as photos of the area where the vehicles used in the cleaning of the Chornobyl plant were dumped. It is amazing to see the vehicles in real life. Plus photos of the development team posing in various areas of the exclusion zone. Considering the effects of the war on the area, I hope the developers are safe and well.
