Infection - Episode 2 - The station

Time to add new pics to tease you all!
Here are two near-final character models I'm currently adding to the game:

nice, those are much better than the in-screen sprites

Great to hear you like 'em! I'm still struggling with the side views, but I think they'll look quite nice when I'm finished.

Now all I need are different character sprites for the 20-or-so NPC's plus the 6-9 different hostile NPC's sprites.

You have a lot of work ahead of you. Looking forward to the game

If you need actors for this episode I would love to help.

Just a heads-up that the project is still alive! I've just been bogged down with work, other projects, moving to a new apartment and so on. You all know the drill!

Latest additions: The game now has toilets! And some sleeping quarters and some showers! I'll try to post a sample background again soon, to show that I have actually done SOMETHING!

Also, I've been getting some great help with backgrounds and such, which has been a HUGE motivation booster in previous months.

Cool! Keep it up!

EDIT: Just finished the demo and really enjoyed! Cool stuff.

As promised, here's a new background!

There are twelve shower rooms like this in the game (it's a big space station with lots of crew, ok?) and each will have a few differences, some pre-set, some randomized at game start. Careful not to drop the soap!

Nice. I like it!

What I noticed though is that the floor, visible through the door, seems to have a perspective problem. Shouldn't the edge (between floor and wall) be more "flat"/horizontal? It seems somewhat wrong to me...

WHAM · Sat 02/10/2010 23:24:44

There is a perspective problem, but then again, the player will never actually see that in game, as there will be doors to cover up the doorways. The doorway will only be visible for about a second at a time.

I will probably fix that eventually, but at the moment its a pretty low priority. =)

Think it might do good to keep this thread alive, if only to remind myself of the project.
Today's agenda: scetch and start work on the CIC and officer's quarters.

I'll probably post some sort of background art later in the weekend.

Yes, do it!

Lookin forward to this! Stay focused!

As promised, here's a background! Although I must admit that its nowhere near finished, but seeing that I caught a devilish cold this weekend and have been stuck in bed for most of it, I think its coming along just fine.

There will be controls and such for the officers working the CIC on the white panels, and there will be lost of material flickerig about the monitors in the room, as well as there being some cool features in the commander's chair in the middle. I think this will be one of the coolest looking rooms in the game once its finished!

EDIT: The picture is perhaps a bit wide for the forums, so se here's a link instead.

Nice one, WHAM.

WHAM · Mon 13/12/2010 22:09:03

Thought I'd post another background to prove I'm still here!

cianty · Mon 13/12/2010 22:57:05

That's another nice background! Thanks for bringing the game (and the excitement) back to my attention! I remember playing the demo very well and so look forward to seeing this game completed. Any (rough) idea on an estimated release date?

No estimate on release at this time. I'm hoping to have all the graphics done by june 2011, so best possible scenario would be very late 2011. Late 2012 might be more realistic...

Back to the first page, you cur!

After a ton of work and a lot of great help from the Critic's Lounge, a new background is finished. It looked so awesome that I wanted to post it up here as well!

I now have almost 25% of the rooms in the game covered, though they are mostly the simpler ones and the trickiest ones are still just rough sketches.

Damn! Means we'll have to wait even longer. Anyways... That new background does look great. Great job!
