Scars of War Dev Blog Update

[GameBanshee News]

The latest Scars of War dev blog entry takes a look at one of the game's buildings, nicknamed the Gingerbread Villa.

This is a building I started working on a while back. I didn’t finish it at the time, code work took priority, but I’ve come back to finishing it now.

I started off with some concept art

It’s, heh, a bit bright and cartooney, yes? A mate of mine saw it and said it looked like a gingerbread Spanish villa, not quite what I was going for, but funny nonetheless. Concept art isn’t really for public consumption, well mine isn’t, I’m not a good enough artist to constantly churn out quality works, they are more quick and dirty sketches for me to nail down a concept in my mind. I was going for a sun drenched villa, a rich estate with a bell tower from which to signal the workers in the fields. Bright, saturated colours.

So this is the model I’ve been working on, please ignore the terrain in the background it is from my testbed level which is just a place for me to play around with art assets.
