Neko Space Racers (Patreon)

Well good afternoon again my dears. Up for download and viewing today are some designs I was originally commissioned for on an indie game project. It would have everything you ever wanted for your pc racing games: Furious driving, randomly generated cityscapes as well environmental terrain, and all the cats you could ever want!

The project actually was making some decent headway. A lot of the UI was figured out, the levels were fully playable with some fun easter eggs, and our tables of ideas just kept growing further ambitious. However sadly it fizzled away into nothing as members of the team grew less enthusiastic, and more centered around external projects. Without any further helping hands or creative suggestions, Neko Space racers wandered off into the valley of forgotten indie game projects.

In comparison to other projects that I have been on, I was actually the most excited with this one. There was a lot of back and forth on the character design especially in context to the line work. I am a heavy fan of lineless work, while others felt it would be sharper with bold blackened lines. You can see some of racer's designs such as the rubber clad cat, Berara, whose outlines were a 2.0 rating in comparison to the others designs whom mainly stayed in the 1.0 rating. 

Jokingly I managed to smuggle in Doc Diventia when we were in higher spirits during the first month. Alas, a lot of the files were lost in the process including some of the UI designs, vehicle concept builds, advert designs, and environmental concepts.

I'll miss what this could have become, but I'm proud that I walked off my usual design choice path to make something like this. It was a first not feeling a sense of dread working with a team. Feel free to download and check out the characters in higher detail if you like, and as always, Thanks for being here!
