Humankind has instructed tales concerning the stars for so long as we’ve regarded up at them. We’ve spun tales of the gods who stroll there and heroes immortalized in these shining pinpricks of sunshine. As our know-how has grown, so have the bounds of our creativeness and whereas we can not but attain the star techniques that develop clearer with every development, science-fiction artists, writers, and sport builders convey us pleasure through the use of their craft to take a position what wonders are on the market among the many cosmos.
What you see right here solely scratches the floor on the artwork created for our area journey. Improvement on EVERSPACE 2 started over six years in the past as we first began placing collectively superb idea artwork, cinematics, illustrations, and designs for the title. Constructing on the breakout success of our first sport, we wished this sequel to be greater and bolder, and it reveals not solely within the closing product of our efforts, however in all of the artwork created for it. We had been impressed by numerous sources from literature, movie, video games, and even childhood goals about astronauts and area. I hope our artwork and sport evokes different artists in flip.
Set 1000’s of light-years away, EVERSPACE 2 takes place in a far future the place Humankind has met, traded with, realized from, and warred in opposition to a number of races. We have now colonized new worlds and found ruins of long-lost civilizations. Although now we have not beat lots of the issues of at this time, humankind stays crammed with hope as people search higher lives on the frontier.
House is bleak, unfathomable deserts of nothing between comparatively small star oases—however in our imaginations it’s crammed with risks, magnificence, colour and pleasure. In our minds, area is the place something might occur. Our artists seized on this need for spaceborn life to craft beautiful visuals that populate our wealthy and considerable sport world. We selected a steadiness between realism and stylization with the intention to obtain a novel feel and look, and in addition to satisfy our funds and crew measurement.
