Shadowcore Prime is coming soon from WorldWorks games.

Heh, I am ashamed to say that ship makes me think of the dreadful movie Lifeforce... When I was younger I actually liked that movie... if only for one reason.

LOL I seen you working on it the one day and could make it out exactly but it exceeds all my expectations I love it !!!!! Now I have to find a use for Sci-Fi after that preview!!!!!!!!

I'm the first to put up my hand and say I will not be building a shp. But I can see a lot of use for a Alien starbase or an underground Alien infection thats taking over the Subway.

Codename: Black Helix
Developer: Paul Senior
Description: 2.5-D Sci-Fi
Status: Still in Pre-Production


See I can see this as our answer to Space Hulk. As for Prime, well pure 3D Space Hulk, Doom, Quake (maybe not Quake needs more pillars and Arches).

Anywhich way it's all dead sexy!

Although I think the domed lids look quite nice, I can't help thinking that the individual units look a lot like those indian tooled-metal jewelry boxes!

Textures look great - very organic. But the lid textures at least don't "interface" well with the otherwise square geometry. You get these cool curved and ribbed patterns, that are then cut off sharply at the edge. As if you cut out part of a larger pattern in a Geiger book, and just glued it onto the roof. Maybe you could have a wavy overhang for each roof, and incorporate that roof edge into the pattern?

Trim: the sharkfins are interesting, but they do look a little tacked on (gee, maybe they are? ). I guess they'll probably make it much hardre to remove and replace the roofs though... The engines and other smaller pieces still feel a bit too "boxy" for me.

The single best-looking detail in that preview, to me, is the little "stern" at the end of the last compartment (bottom right in the image). Somehow, that little nub strikes me as very elegant and fitting. It really breaks the boxy look of the set, even more so than the domed lids. I'd love to see more of that type of details.

Overall... great texturing, but I was hoping for a bit more creativity in the geometry. This comes from the guy who seriously suggested making an iris door (or even an entire corridor) out of a condom, of course - just to put things into perspective. I think the set looks to have great potential for some more "alien" kibashed details.
