That shot with the orange triangle thingy.. MIND BLOWN! Fucking love it! I instantly subscribed, epic inspiration! Keep it up!

As always, thanks for the support! I'm pretty happy with three of the locations now, going to try some new stuff soon.

The new blue looks much more balanced. The whites gives some nice variation. Seems like things are more visible but the scene still feels as dark as it should be.

absolutely love the environments, best of luck on the game!

Pretty happy with the sanctuary hub areas, so I'm trying something new for the rest:








Oh yes, and thanks to Beast's Directional Lightmaps, Unity 4 and a few optimisations of my own, I'm now pushing 200+ FPS rendering an entire map at 1080p on a Radeon 8750 (Upper-mid Range Card).

Do you mean 7750? 8750 doesn't exist.

I love the dark blue areas.
But, is it bad if your horror environment actually makes me feel peaceful? At the moment I would love to be there.
It’s probably just me and the fact it’s snowing outside right now. I’m sure having monsters running around and stuff with spooky sounds will help.

I can imagine it seeming calm, but the lighting changing colour in these screenshots gives me a sense of chaos and urgency, which is also aided by the strangeness of the environment.

Yeah I think with the direction you've been going lately I'm getting more of a TRON vibe than sci-fi horror. But I guess if the neon lights are used sparingly, and a lot of the rest is in darkness, then it could work. I remember similar tactics were used in some levels of DOOM, where you would get the occasional brightly lit areas mixed with very dark. That worked well.

Just a note that I'm totally looking for modeller[s] to collaborate with on AEON (As you can see, the modular environment props I've built are pretty basic, I'm more of environment designer type), if anyone is interested, just email me at: orihaus[at]gmail[dot]com.

And crossposting from TIGSource:

"@Pixhead and the rest,

I'd reveal more about the game, but I'm not entirely sure what people want to know. 'Gameplay' right now can't be shown as it's mostly in a conceptual stage beyond basic movement kinaesthetics. Expect something like Amnesia, but without the puzzles - though, even this is liable to change."

This black with one color scheme is very interesting. I like a lot the fact that the light reveals the shapes more than the diffuse color. Still I am looking at your pictures on my brighter screen and I can barely see anything more than the neons light on my other screen.

New video, from a First Person perspective this time:

Giant cyborg space bees. I'm nearly positive that the monster(s) will be giant cyborg space bees. Like Buck Bumble, but more malevolent.

This has certainly been an awesome project to watch thus far. Keep it up!

Hmmm Nice

Upgraded main shader with a little specular trick used on the ships in EVE Online: https://twitter.com/Orihaus/status/290789863563874305

Those last two pictures are looking fantastic, still dark yet feels more readable then the older screens. I also reckon it looks better in motion then in stills.

Keep it up.

Amazing art direction. Really loving it!

Heavily updated main shader with BRDF specular and the like. You can find it here: http://pastebin.com/Siqiwp1Q.
Also started working with new models built by Polycount resident: Disting!







Still colouring the areas in the last few screenshots.

Once again I'm sold on the style. Hate to say "can't wait" but I can't wait to see what will become of the gameplay. Looks like the environment is perfectly fit for a lot of complex puzzles, that perhaps has a deadly outcome if unsolved.
