Player Ship Sketches
Posted by hermitCJul 27
Today I have drawn some sketches for the player ship. Some of them are not complete but the concepts should be obvious.
What’s your favourite design? What are your three favourites, ordered best first? What do you like about them? What would you change?

I’m looking forward to your comments.
Cheers,
Thomas

im for H. i would call E, but that doesnt fit the steampunktheme as much imho
why not let players chose out of three different ones, when you found the time to do them.

You’re right, E is a rather futuristic concept. Nevertheless it has a common shape and fits the shmup needs very well. Therefore I’ve included it.
I’ve edited the post according to your ’3 favourites’ idea. It shows tendencies better than the ‘choose 1′ approach. Thanks for the hint.

G first.
Then B.
The other ones don’t look steampunky enough.
G really has the right size, every detail looks right, and the gatling guns on the front make me want to control it.

I realize I’m a little late since you’re probably already modeling, but here goes anyway:
1) E. It looks futuristic and slick. I happen to like futuristic. So the player happens to be from a more futuristic parallel universe, no problem
2) F. It has a certain nutty/patchy/funky flair that i quite like.
3) A. No fuzz. Bigger is better. Who cares what it looks like if it’s got the biggest gun?
