Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
Why is the concept art better than the finished product? XD
Changes as of May 24, 2013Reinvented Starsector.That is all.
There's quite a difference between purely functional concept art and the highly polished promotional "concept art" one tends to see released by game companies. What I'm going to show is absolutely the former with no time spent making it look nice. It's my sketchbook, in other words. But hey, since interest was expressed, I'll show a bit of it.(And maybe I'll just make this into a blog post, at that.)Gallery is here.Click on a thumbnail to view it full size, or something.

Alex on multiplayer
The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.
Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
It sure looks like a hound but upper turret location is not right - it must be on left side of the ship. Definitely awesome looking art.

Definitely awesome looking art.I tend to flip paintings back and forth to make sure the perspective doesn't drift. Right now it's flipped. (Though I may just put the turret on the wrong side to troll you guys )
Oh and i wanted to ask if we may have some more racial variations for the portraits? ;D
Hi David as always exelent art.I absolutly dig your ship designs and artstyle. They are by far the best i have ever seen.Oh and i wanted to ask if we may have some more racial variations for the portraits?
I am officially an epoch.
Note: please sacrifice your goats responsibly, look up the proper pronunciation of Alex's name. We wouldn't want some other project receiving mystic power.
