A Factioned Galaxy

Neutral Rim

A large expanse of space encompassing hundreds of inhabited worlds which separates the Solar Alliance from PACT. Following the Alliance-Imperial War, the Treaty of Vespa was signed, which created a buffer zone between the two powers from the former core worlds o...

Piracy on the Rise

In true Cosette fashion she has successfully plundered the originally planned sprite priority list and pushed herself up a few ranks, we really need to improve the defences of our office against this type of threat.

The Ryuvia Star Palace

Beyond its narrative part in Mask of Arcadius for Operation Wedding Crash and a brief look at the interior, the orbital fortress from the days of the Holy Ryuvian Empire hasn't had much of a chance to have a proper showing of itself.

We just can't allow that to go on considering it will b...

A Sneak Peak from the PSDs

So far we've shown off quite a few of the prospective sprite designs that we've been exploring but for the most part what became of these in term of designs has been limited to glimpses through CGs or via the key visual art.

We can now pull back the curtain a bit more revealing more direct ...

Pokez Loss, Lynn

Possibly the worst possible scenario of Pokez loss you can experience is that of the new comer, the last thing you want to give a smug prototype is ammunition for their craft.

There is also a rumour that when and if this event happens an ominous rumble of excitement can be felt deep within ...

On the Bridge

Some of the experimental sprite ideas for Ava.

Medical Malpractice in the Making

Some of the experimental sprite ideas for Claude.

Sunrider 4 Polished Key Visual & The State of Play August 2020

August as a whole marks a key point in the development process for our current project as we've now got the key visual that we're happy with as well as having created enough assets to start introducing them into a code framework so that it (the framework) can be developed in more meaningful ways....

Touring the Armoury

Some of the experimental sprite ideas for Tin Soldier.

Pokez Loss, Cosette

By now we're all used to Cosette and her pirate antics, however there was one thing to date that she has been unable to plunder - your dignity.

She now has that too, expect constant teasing to pick up from here.

Mechanised Tools of War

You'll already be familiar with the Hunter Drone (far left) but have you met the other members of its family? At this reunion we have the Assassin Drone (middle) and Centipede Drone (far right) in attendance.

She's Not Doing This for You

Some of the experimental sprite ideas for Icari.

Pokez Loss, Sola

Even as she takes in her newly awarded visual treat she is somehow able to maintain her signature demeanour through the expertly executed covering of her face.

You can't help but wonder what true expression she is actually making behind that hand...

Which Character from the Post 'Key Visual Conceptualisation Revision - Completed' Do You Find Most Intriguing?

Following the reveal of the completed piece and the fact it has now been up a few days, we'd now like to collect a particular angle of feedback from yourselves. After seeing this post which character do you find the most interesting or that you find yourself more excited for?

Some may even ...

Key Visual Conceptualisation Revision - Completed

All the sprites are now completed and have taken their positions, as for the logo and the background these will be added in at a later date as part of the polishing process.

For those of you fond of a specific character we've also separated the sprites from the key visual into their individ...

Key Visual Conceptualisation Revision - Part 2

Rather than how originally the next update was going to be the completed version we're going to continue showing each character as their colouring is completed before then concluding with the same destination in the final key visual.

Pokez Loss, Asaga

Now considering her known ryders are called Blackjack and High Roller did you really think you stood a chance at beating her at Pokez?

You can practically hear her brain making camera clicking sounds in quick succession.

Pokez Loss, Ava

If the loss wasn't bad enough you can't find a way to get her piercing stare out of your mind, it is almost like it transcends normal disappointment and instead brings together multiple shortcomings into a cleanly executed package that blends them all together into a new form of expression.

Me and the Girls

Some of the experimental sprite ideas for a helmet free armour-clad figure, Icari, Ava and Claude.

Overtime in the Tydaria Mining Pits

The shift isn't over just yet and so we're back down fighting the dust bowl, there is still a bit of modelling required to confirm proportions before we can get out the paint brushes.

Pokez Loss, Icari

All it took was one glance of your hand for her to make the swift strike that would mark the end of this reveal, Icari truly knows no mercy no matter when it comes to the target of her blade.

Key Visual Conceptualisation Revision

After further discussions we decided to diverge from the original shown design a bit although we feel that we've still maintained the spirit of the original.

While we were going to wait until the full colouration was completed before showing the transition from outline to production piece, ...

Pokez Loss, Claude

The losses continue and it is clear now that you're not getting out of this easily. Even more so now that it seems the penalty was all in all too much for Claude who was able to light up the sky with a nosebleed bred from excitement - you had better take responsibility.

Tydaria Mining - Pits / Rig / Entrance

A first look into some of the active operations of the Mining Union on Tydaria, each image corresponds to its place in the post title. 

Pokez Loss, Kryska

Onto the revealing of hands and well... its not good. You should have ditched that hand when you were given the chance.

Kryska pays tribute to the man of dignity she once knew as she claims her prize.

Vassal No Longer

Some of the experimental sprite ideas for Lynn.

Calling at Round's End

Lets just hope you got a good read on the rest of the room before committing further with a hand like that - there do appear to be some smirks forming around the room.
