KARL HEISENBERG CONCEPT ART

● Karl Heisenberg

↳ Heisenberg's main concept is based on Frankenstein. We wanted to create a cool gray-haired character who was a little rough around the edges. He smokes his favorite Cuban cigars.

↳ An early draft of Heisenberg's family. The biggest difference was that Heisenberg was going to be a twin and his mother was a subject for brain experiment.

● Mutated Heisenberg

↳ We went for a look that was the opposite of his human form, a giant mechanical monster. The design based on the idea that he uses scrap left scattered around the factory. He owns weapons from tanks and planes, and has mountains of scrap for his mass-produced experiments.

● Mutated Heisenberg in Detail

↳ The original design was based on the splendid royale moth caterpillar. We wanted him to look like he moved on treads and be faster than any other boss monster.

↳ Heisenberg's father was going to be the leader of the village, and the boss fight with the mechanical mutation was originally going to be with him.

↳ Concept art of a day in the life of Heisenberg. Night after night his modified henchmen dig up corpses from the graveyard to be used in his metal army.

● Soldat Eins

↳ We called these enemies "Drillman" for a long time during development because one arm was replaced with a drill. The idea for these enemies is they have a reactor inside their chests with the parasite inside that acts like an internal combustion engine. The goggles are units that Heisenberg uses to control them.

↳ Designs for various Soldat reactors, but the final design was a grotesque mechanical heart.

● Soldat Panzer

↳ We consciously created the enemies in the factory to be different so they didin't just terrify players but also created a strong sense of anticipation. The design was based on Western medieval armor and helmets.

● Soldat Jet

↳ We were really attached to the name "Jet Drill" during development. They use jets on their backs and their heads look like fighter planes. The design is similar to the horseshoe crab. We designed the front and back with different amounts of detail so the back would be particularly shocking.

● Sturm

↳ The propeller on his head is made from three chainsaw blades. He chopped his own arms off when they got in the way of the spinning blades. There was one plan to have the Sturm be Heisenberg's real father. And during development he was called "Propeller Man."

● Bridge Ruins

↳ Concept art for the bridge to Heisenberg's factory. It was initially going to be just to the side of the path leading to the Altar ruins.

● Sturm Attacks

↳ Sturm chasing Ethan down a narrow corridor, destroying everything in his way.

● Giant Cavern

↳ The concept art for Heisenberg kicking Ethan down into the hole and the giant cavern under the factory.

● Casting Machine

↳ A casting machine which uses molds to create objects made out of cast iron. This concept for a puzzle was around since early development as a way to create a key.

● Foundry

↳ This room was once only used for casting iron but Heisenberg ended up utilizing it for his experiments. This room links to the hidden engine room.

● Engine Room

↳ An engine room powered by giant pistons.

↳ Concept art for Heisenberg's factory where Ethan is chased by the Soldat series. If the reactors in their chests are destroyed then the parasite inside will attempt to escape.

● Grinder Shaft Fight

↳ A fight inside the grinder shaft. These were early designs for the Soldat Jet. We originally imagined a space where they could freely fly about.

● Heisenberg's Key

↳ We went with a design that had a powerful looking horse just like the one on Heisenberg's crest.

● Start of the Battle With Heisenberg

↳ Concept art for the flow of events leading up to the battle with Heisenberg. We pictured Ethan falling into the pit around dusk and returning from it to a dark stormy night sky. The general layout of events didin't change much from early development.

● Mutated Heisenberg-Fight 1

↳ Concept art for the boss fight with Heisenberg. Even early on in development this battle was going to commence with a self-propelled artillery. The only difference is that in the final version, Heisenberg is not defeated using falling transmission towers.

● Mutated Heisenberg-Fight 2

↳ We figured that Heisenberg's yard would be full of scrap and vehicles, which he uses during the fight.

↳ Boss fight with mutated Heisenberg where he turns into his final form.

When Is The Investment Casting Employed?

A wax pattern is used in the industrial process of Investment casting China, sometimes referred to as precision casting or lost-wax casting, to create a disposable ceramic mold. The exact shape of the object to be cast is captured in a wax pattern. A ceramic substance that is refractory is applied to this design. After the ceramic material solidifies, it is heated and flipped upside down until the wax melts and runs out. The ceramic shell hardens into a disposable investment mold. The mold is filled with molten metal, which is then allowed to cool. After that, the metal casting is broken out of the used mold.

When to employ investment casting

Investment casting is a rather expensive technique because of its labor needs and intricacy, but the advantages frequently exceed the drawbacks. Almost any metal may be cast for an investment. 

Excellent as-cast surface finishes may be achieved in complicated items produced by investment casting. Since the ceramic shells of investment castings break away from the part when it cools, a taper does not need to be incorporated to extract the components from their molds. With the use of this manufacturing feature, castings with 90-degree angles may be created without any shrinkage allowance and without the need for further machining to achieve such angles.

Parts made using the investment casting technique by Investment casting Supplier have excellent dimensional precision, are readily net-shaped, and are frequently produced without the need for further machining. To create wax patterns, a new die is needed for every distinct casting run. 

The time and effort saved by reducing or eliminating secondary machining more than offsets the expense of new tools for high-volume orders. Lesser casting runs will probably not pay for itself. 

A new wax pattern to a finished casting typically takes seven days, most of which is spent making and curing the ceramic shell mold. To make castings more rapid, certain foundries can quick-dry. Cost is not the only factor affected by investment casting's time- and labor-intensive process. Longer lead times for the investment casting process are typical at foundries because of their restricted production capacity and equipment.

This is actually my field of research (broadly speaking), so I wanted to throw in a few more things:

Being "out of sorts" comes from literally running out of sorts (characters of type) in your case.

Stereotypes are made from molds made from set type. So once you've put together the text you want to be able to reproduce quickly, you take a mold of the type, and then make a stereotype plate from that mold. Printers sometimes offered stereotyping services, which could include storing the plates indefinitely, as with Rand, Avery & Co.

The linotype machine is named that because it literally makes a line o' type on demand. I can't explain all the mechanics, but when you type a line, the machine casts it into a single line of lead type. This was hugely helpful for printing things quickly, especially things with tight deadlines like newspapers. But I do want to mention that typesetters (who were assembling texts with single characters instead of lines of type) could be extremely fast, to the point that typesetting races were an actual spectator sport in the 19th century in the US.

Before standardized point sizes, typefounders in the US used actual names for their sizes, like diamond, primer, and pica, but there was a ton of variation as to how big these sizes were in practice, both between and within foundries. The switch to point sizes was complicated, but clearly stuck. If you want to know more about the switch, Wesley Washington Pasko talks about this under Standards of Type in American History of Printing and Bookmaking (1894).

Hubley to manufacture equipment and accessories for electric trains. Financial difficulties forced Mr. Hubley to sell the entire stock in 1909. At this time the electric train business was discontinued and the cast iron toy business started. Among the first toys produced were a coal range, circus wagons and mechanical banks, all collector’s items today.Included in the 68,000 square feet of floor space in the Hubley plant were a die-cast room, warehouse, tool room, paint room and all the special assembly machinery. Besides making their cast iron toys, the company made castings for other companies in Lancaster which were without foundry equipment.By 1940 increased freight costs and foreign competition forced the company to look for other materials. During World War II scarcity of metal forced the company out of the toy business and into war-related items. After the Korean conflict ended and regulations on metal were suspended, cast iron toy production resumed.Following common manufacturing methods of the time, Hubley toys of the 1890s, and for a time thereafter, were cast in sand molds in two parts which were then riveted together to form the toy. All toys were designed by John Hubley, who had remained deeply interested in children’s playthings since the time he first made his own children’s wooden toys.In 1936 Hubley started casting in multiple cavity steel dies. Die castings were broken off, trimmed, and tumbled in revolving cylindrical machines. They were then taken to the paint department where they were given baked enamel or lacquer, air-dried paint finishes in various colors. At one time, a dozen girls were employed in the paint department. Portions of the earlier toys were hand painted and some were dipped.Each different toy was started on its own moving assembly line where parts were added, details sprayed on, oiling and inspection took place and the assembly completed. For example, a fire engine took shape on one line. It started as a red chassis. The rubber-tired wheels were added, followed by the spraying on of the radiator, bumpers and headlights. The driver was added, and the ladder, fire axes and other accessories followed. Near the end of the line, the toy was individually boxed and packed in a corrugated container. In 1949, due to union disputes, the foundry was closed. This was a difficult decision for the firm, since Hubley was one of the first companies to devote their entire factory to die casting.The Hubley Company maintained a designing department where ideas were conceived and developed for model forms. Design engineers kept up-to-date on the models and style changes by attending automobile shows and studying advertisements. Their designs changed when the larger counterparts changed. After items were conceived and models developed, the toys were analyzed for pricing. The more play features a model had, the more expensive it was.
