Lost Transmission The level will be built up with star citizen in mind. Throughout the level you will come across things that look as though they have come straight from the game star citizen. The starship interior will look like a cargo ship, it will have very industrial look to with high cat walks, supply boxes, tools, and all things that you will come across on a cargo ship. Being a Federation Military starship, the ship will have a lot of military equipment in there, such as weapons, ammo, and living quarter for them such as barracks, cantinas, gym’s and weapon rooms. The starship, still have a little power, will have dim lights, warning lights going off, and un-functional doors.

Most of the starship will be dark and rusty metal work, it will look like the ship was made to look clean and modern, but over time has not been taken care off and has become damaged. Some places in the ship will not be like that and will look clean and modern, such as the cantina and barracks. The enemies on the ship will be, 8ft tall aliens built up in armour, there because they are pirates taking over the ship. The aliens will be carrying plasma guns which will be used against you to try and stop you from progressing through the level.

Star Citizen

I have chosen the game Star Citizen to get inspiration from because the level that I am building will be made for that game. Star Citizen has a very good art style to it and looks very futuristic, which is great for the style I want my level to be.

AliensI have chosen the film Aliens for inspiration because it gives a very good idea of how something abandoned would look like in the future. I has dark corridors, left supply boxes and just comes across as an old, rusty, abandoned place. The Alien’s film’s is almost like what how the level will made, where the player will be searching an abandoned ship filled with aliens that will attack you. Alien’s also has fantastic scenery and goes very well with the type of style I want to do.

Event Horizon

The film Event Horizon has a very good art style for a space ship as it is set inside of a space ship. The ship in the film doesn’t have that much light which makes the ship seem low on power which gives a perfect environment for what I want.
