WHEELS

I’ve had a busy day messing with cars, but I found some time and did some sprite work.

This is just a first pass for their van.

Vehicles are easy to do side-on (or top-down). There are blueprints online for just about any common vehicle you can think of. Pixelling them is just a matter of picking the important details, ditching the rest, and shading.

I did the whole thing inside a screenshot of Fear Is Vigilance with Marcy up front, just for colour and size reference and so I could see at a glance if it was fitting in. It’s most of the way there – the next step will be dirtying it up, because it’s wayyyy too shiny and new to be their van right now. Being well funded just doesn’t seem in character.

The perspective seems a bit awkward, but the van won’t be used in this scene. It’ll be used in driving cutscenes where the viewpoint is more obviously side-on. I’ll get them done over the weekend and through next week, and wrap the game up soon after 🙂
