From retro to cutting edge: Developing the visual style for a Martian adventure
Overon Station explains the visual directions and differences of their upcoming sci-fi adventure, Dome City with stunning artworks.
BUDAPEST, Hungary – Thursday 3rd March, 2016 – Hungarian developer studio Overon Station is pleased to reveal highly detailed concept artworks of their Martian adventure game, Dome City showcasing its diverse visual style. Two of the most important locations appear on the concepts; the sharp contrast between the spaceship (TC-08 “Tessa”) and Lanita, the city has a defining storytelling role.
“We’re aiming for a futuristic contrast; Tessa is based on nowaday’s future vision, resembling to cutting edge technology’s clear, elegant design with rounded shapes, lightweight plastic-like materials. Looking at the city’s visuals, it’s inspired by the 60’s “retro-futuristic” concept – huge, robust buildings, angular shapes, concrete and heavy materials everywhere. It’s a journey to the past for the protagonists, as they’re too young to remember the times when it was popular.” – shared Peter Kovacs, the Lead Concept Artist. “We’ve worked hard to differentiate the important locations, but in the end, all spot has a unique visual appearance.”
