Anas! try the symbol on the badass looking guys face on the previous page

SilverSpook · Thu 24/03/2016 06:20:38

@Anas: Haha! Nice work there. Yeah, the symbol on the Dark City-looking guy's face is an Aleph, technically.

Actually though, the unlock pattern is a ten-plus constellation formation of those stars. One of the beta tester's most common complaints was a lack of difficult puzzles. So good luck with those 1.34 trillion possible permutations.

Man your massive backgrounds are.. massive

Blondbraid · Sun 27/03/2016 09:58:53

A very beautiful background. Such detail!

And it really does a great job portraying what kind of society the game takes place in!

Danvzare · Sun 27/03/2016 13:13:35

Ooh, nice!
I love the contrasting nature between the top and bottom.

Cassiebsg · Sun 27/03/2016 15:14:03

I'll add myself to the choir!

(nod)

One thing though, the ship's name!

Spoiler

Could you try and hand paint the name (or blend/blur the text with the tail) instead of plaster a perfect text on it? Seems to me it clashes with the rest of the art, and calls to much attention to it self.

I love all the various nods to sci-fi here -- starting with the first impression that immediately makes me think of Elysium, to that floating city in the distance to the right, with such classic twisty architecture (reminiscent of ice-cream cones) and buildings made of glass (I think).

selmiak · Sun 27/03/2016 20:50:49

this is pretty awesome!

SilverSpook · Tue 29/03/2016 09:21:44

Thanks all for your kind mouth words.

@Fitz: A lot of intentional Elysium-ishness in there. I have a lot of references to the inequality in the future, but I really needed to hammer it home, the absolute absence of a middle class, with extremes at either end of the economic spectrum. Unimaginable wealth RIGHT ON TOP of atrocious poverty, all in a single impactful image. I was going to add a Marie-Antoinette throwing brioche cake over the edge, lounging in a gold-trimmed Limo, but I figured that might be a bit over the top.

Elysium was almost criminally underrated for the degree of relevance and prescience embedded in the world. Lightyears ahead of its time.

It's ridiculous how great movies and great ideas and great art in general get dismissed and frowned upon just because of a few plot issues or it wasn't 'serious' or 'too much effects' or not enough 'something' to be applauded. Mostly I think people make up excuses not to like things that make them uncomfortable. But art is not there to make you comfortable, if it's worth anything.

Fitz · Tue 29/03/2016 11:24:31

I liked Elysium a lot. I enjoyed the ideas, even if the execution was a bit over the top in places (the cosmic bazooka). I love me some camp -- and I'm definitely a fan of stark visual contrasts. It definitely made me think of Metropolis, which made brilliant use of symbolism.
I also saw eXistenZ again last week. One of my favorite movies questioning the nature of reality, right up there with Dark City, The 13th Floor and Inception. Would love to see Strange Days, too.

Neofeud takes the post-trigger-warning, post-social-justice-wars, "raising consciousness" concept to the next level.

Future CEO office. Everything levitates, reflects, is a 70's sci-fi setpiece designed by a San Diego Starchitect who didn't make the Star Wars team, got turned into Sharper Image surplus and bought up by Tom Haverford. 20th-cen American douche-gothic. That's the way I imagined it anyway.

Fitz · Sat 09/04/2016 16:55:57

That is one pretty Skynet right there.

And I want that furniture kinda in my workplace. Not sure if it'd make me hate it less, but damn, I'd look badass sitting in that chair!

selmiak · Sat 09/04/2016 16:59:03

cool. You know what would be even cooler? If the water from the pool would also be levitating in the room...

Blondbraid · Sat 09/04/2016 22:33:01

It's a beautiful, beautiful contrast against the rusty, grimy slums in the previous screenshots!
