(SSGX Origins) Let's make a Wipeout game! This time for real!

[Nathman]

2D art isn't much of a strong point for me, but I can definitely put some ideas together for prototype ships. I'll take a look at them and post some ideas here in the coming days.

I swear, Cassie's was made by me xD Ireland first... XD good times

But now I know its Pure x Pulse so... I can shorten them up if you like? Same person can't exactly do both because one would add something they wanted to before or make it large again xD.
(just taking out the extras if you like)

And @Nath, we can make some logos together if you like

[Nathman]

Logos! I CAN do that! Could you link me to something containing all the ships/where I can find them? Mostly for ship design/colour schemes.

[Xpand]

Here are the ones that don't actually have a definitive prototype version:
Zepher, iFreet, LOGOS and Helios, respectively. There's still Artezix missing, but we still need to do something about that one...

Also, thanks for the help!

[Nathman]

So after some research, it seems that the prototype ships are a little more... open? There seems to be much more of a focus on separate pieces of body/armor, attached to the main body. Would I be correct in that assertion?

And its my pleasure to help. WipE'out" 2097 was the first game I ever played, and thankfully I still have a copy. I'm honoured to help make this game a reality.

[Xpand]

I think you can go free on the prototype ships. As long as they maintain some resemblance to the original ones...

[Nathman]

Of course. Logos stays sleek, Zepher stays sturdy, I get your drift.

[Xpand]

Yeah, just don't spare on the "radical" factor.
Here's a comparison between the two Amphithere ships, to give you an idea of how the prototypes can look like:

You have the CENR and Solaris prototype sketches.

Take in mind that Oryx already worked out a first model for the Zepher prototype:

[Oryx Crake]

Actually point of fact I have redone it somewhat since then but yeah still same basic design:

[feisar rocket]

Pause... Prototypes?! Okay I want in on this xD

Idk... I'm just gonna draw ships, with broken hauls basically right... Alright...

Which one is who doing?

@oyrx, looks nice, very nice! ^_^!

[docfo4r]

Awesome man. It always feels like DC is complete but every new update contains something and I think like "Yeah, that was missing!!"

[Nathman]

Oryx, that looks absolutely amazing. I've started working on the LOGOS ship, so I'll try to post some progress tomorrow.

[Oryx Crake]

thanks mate but most of the credit goes to Zero3growlithe and Xpand I just extrapolated from the model of the original zepher.

EDIT
made another render
ZEPHER PROTOTYPE5.png

Keep in mind this is a sketch and would require at least a couple of hours more before it would be ready for even texturing.

[Nathman]

I'm not too sure about this forum's rules regarding images, so here's an Imgur link of half an hours work. This is what I'm envisioning for the Logos prototype. Edgy, sweeping and sleek. http://imgur.com/hRpOl

[feisar rocket]

That looks great for a start ^_^!

Mine might look like a formula car >_> xD

I'm all alone, cause I'm the only person that uses pencil and paper alone xD

[Nathman]

I'm rather eager for feedback as I'm still somewhat new to modelling.

The red area at the back is where the cockpit will sit, or thereabouts. I'm thinking of moving the forward wings right to the front and reducing there size a little. Thoughts on this?

[whitelamp]

Hey guys,

I have been keeping track of this project for a while, and I just want to say that I support everyone who is working on this game fully. I never thought that something like this would actually happen, and I hope that you guys make slipstream gx into the most awesome wipeout-like game ever. I am not really experienced with blender or unity, so I don't think I would be able to help out that much, but maybe I can come up with some solid track designs and concepts that could be modeled.

[feisar rocket]

Hey White, nice to meet you! Your just like me, pencil and paper xD

Nath, that looks alright! Is it the basic shape?

And mine does look like a formula car...
Take a FEISAR, put Icarus now, flatten it, now add front and rear spoilers... XD
