Here’s a visual style and colour palette sketch for a possible isometric tunnel shooter. I’ve got Zaxxon in mind as a main influence, I always found that game really compelling but annoying as hell. So I’ll attempt to recreate the former and avoid the latter, and make it prettier.
It’s probably not possible to have this exact look running at a decent framerate in Flash just yet -a proper chromatic aberration effect would be quite ‘expensive’ I’d imagine, but noise and bloom are certainly possible so I reckon I can get pretty close. I’m hoping 2d effects like this will be more attainable via Molehill in future, I’m a complete n00b when it comes to modern GPU stuff though so I could be talking out of my arse.
That looks well tasty!
It looks like some cool generative art. I like it!
