The Core
Early exploration of potential damage states. We ended u
Expansion bases finalised
Very first version of the core, while I was still keeping things pretty simple stylistically.
We used this version as our icon forever, even though the core itself got updated a few times along the way.
Expansion concepts; our tech artist Ben Bickle set up the decals on top to number each resource base across the map.
Some more doodly explorations going from the 'base' core to final.
Super early sketches for building options
The Core and Resource Base default models. Our streamlined RTS only required one main core and a single building per expansion, and I wanted the base versions to be clean and iconic - with a view to have all sorts of cosmetic versions down the line.
This model went through a LOT of versions but the final in-game models were by Nic Reid, including a bunch of sweet cosmetic variations.
