Art: Bombernauts Workshop Banner

Have you played Bombernauts? It's available on Steam and is a whole lot of fun. It's a great multiplayer game by Tyler Glaiel with art by Sven Ruthner and audio by Brandon McCartin.

For the most recent update – which adds Steam workshop support (full patch notes) – Tyler mentioned needing a hand with a banner quick, and I was in a good position to help out and was happy to help some friends in a bind.

I painted the banner based on some of the power ups in the game, below is the final banner we ended up with. The other Sven painted the robot part, and I merged it into this scene and did the rest. I had a lot of fun painting this!

Check the game out, and bring some friends since it's a good game in groups :D

Art: Drifter Merchant

A (wip) concept for Drifter. A merchant ship, that hangs around and is really big - even the tiny pixels on the loading bay, around the shuttle, are a bit big for human scale in comparison!

Don't forget, the game is available already - you can find out how and where to get it on the Drifter site.

Art: Drifter interior update

I have been plodding along through concepting, building, and texturing a whole bunch of station interior scenes for Drifter, this space trading game we are making.
 
You can get the game immediately and play it, on Steam or directly from us.
 
I will posting breakdowns of the stages of an interior and all the things I have learned along the way, as this is the first time I have ever made anything this large scale and it was incredibly challenging at best. Lot's to learn from.
 
This is a sneak preview of some of the textures I have been making (click to enlarge):
 
 
To follow along, you can subsribe to this blog (top right of post), or follow me on twitter, or follow the lead dev Colin here.
