Networld... I like the ring of that... This so far reminds me of Darwinia.

If someone can make me some textures I'll add them in fairly quickly.

Textures should be powers of 2... 128x128, 256x256, etc.

Still need some of the concept artists to design a basic level in terms of style. Need some concepts of the geoms as well. Cube, Pyramid (Tri-Eye), Sphere. Obviously I know how geoms look but if a concept artist can come up with colors/styles of them that would be cool.

I have explosions working, though they aren't that eye catching but on trial and error I did a cool little jet stream/current/teleporter effect.

Hm... 3-D shapes.

Alright, I'm having to change the style of the Tri-Eye then... or maybe it can have the eye in the front and it's power in the back...

But anyways, so the textures are going to look like that James Bond training video or something similar to it?

Level design is still up for grabs but we are going for a digital/networld type feel so the james bond style textures are an option.

alright so given the description by lawyer this is what i came up with on the tryeye so far. i think asceth wants it to be easy on the graphics card so i might need to redo the uvspheres for the eyes.

now this is some thing that i put together in 5 minuets not some thing like this that i put weeks in to.

Now that looks interesting.

I'll have a map concept in a day or two, but I don't really know what you can do if it's just a digital land. We'll see I guess.

Like the tri-eye and a simple model like that should be fine graphics wise. I'm really just looking to make the modelers job as hard as he/she wants it to be.


Digital Land Ideas:

- Standard hilly terrain with digital feel
- Cube type complex
- "Realistic world" in a digital view
- 3d representation of retro platforms (like paper mario)
- super mario galaxy traversal of sub worlds/objects

Maybe a large plane with random outcroppings on it?



Something like that. Maybe make them set up like that as if in a ruinous or incomplete state but make them squares, triangles, etc. instead of looking like an actual ruined building or something.

Also, I think the tri-eye sounds okay, but what about something simpler like "Trye"?
