Props and More
This week consisted of the creation of more props, and an establishing of an official Art Bible.
Prop work consisted primarily of assets that could furnish out halls and stateroom, as after much discussion, the pool was cut in favor of a more generic, less unique area. This was done to accommodate the creation of more frequently used assets like hall and bedroom pieces. It was better to get these out of the way first, so more areas could be created quickly, as opposed to assets that could only be used for a single area which would limit level designer flexibility.
What's more, an official art bible was started in earnest- This allows both the rest of the team and possible oncoming artists to have a concrete source of information for everything- from the art style and inspirations to prop modularity measurements and pipeline details.
Finally, we developed a final title, Empirical, and created a system of fonts and backgrounds to use within documentation to maintain consistency. Consistency is king!
