Black Prophecy's Art Direction: The Tyi faction

For the space stations we made use of a similar approach except that the stations consist of less coherent modules in comparison to the capital ships. Like the Human stations, the Tyi assemble their stations out of single modules that are linked with connectors which creates the optical impression of a road network. Usually the stations of the Tyi are built wide

rather than high, although it is possible to use a multi-layered system which spreads over several levels. From a distance, the surface details of the stations appear very noisy because of the size of the single modules, but become calmer if you get closer. The practical use is more important to the Tyi than having a great look. Overall the stations have fewer windows as these are considered a weak point for possible enemy attacks and also support the minimalistic approach for the whole station design.

This is it for part four of the Art Direction Developer Diaries. In the fifth and last part I will present you the third main faction, the Genides.

Stay tuned!
