Week 4 started with rework on the drone to make the outer neon light strips larger. We then experimented with different colors and patterns to find something we liked. We knew we wanted something with a simple color scheme like the rest of the environment, almost like the rocks, but lighter in tone. The body also needed to look different from the wings. As such, we experimented with different shades of grey until we stumbled upon something we liked.
After that it was about making the body look interesting as the wings already had their patterns with neon. We wanted something that fitted in, so we knew we wanted it to be lit with neon lights. First we wanted octagons like the dome, but we couldn’t make it look the way we wanted. Instead we experimented with different patterns until we found something we liked – the one above.
Once the drone was done, we started work on the axe.
In the beginning we experimented with different weapon designs such as tomahawks and spears. Ultimately we however decided to go for the above. We however made a few axe versions before it that each failed on different parts. Either they didn’t give the shape we wanted or the style. The axe above however worked out really well with a color scheme that matches the crafting stations (still WIP) in the game.
