I made some progress trying to find the look & feel that is budget-feasible and appealing. What do you think?

Some more screens of our internal atmosphere tests with many post-processing effects and lighting points

The Creature #3 Due to the prohibitive performance cost of having a large CCD IK chain, we're testing using just a simple Line Renderer for the tentacles. Looks promising! We're thinking about adding a bezier curve so it behaves more like a Tarantula.

The Creature #1 Our motivation creating Life in Space is to make a game with an interesting enemy that serves as your nemesis. We took the concept from the movie Life as well as how enemies are killed in Dead Space (hence the WIP title, Life in Space).

The Creature #4 We've reworked the entire locomotion system in order to use the navigation mesh. We've also added some jittering at the creature's tentacles. For the moment looks way too cute. This beast is supposed to be scary!

#Atmosphere Design I've been working on testing light effects that look right on characters. I'm used to create subtle effects but for this project I'm trying to use high contrast lights seen in movies like Blade Runner and Alien

The Creature #2 Some more progress. This time, using CCDIK with 50 limbs per tentacle (I know, goodbye performance). Not quite satisfied with the results, but getting there.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
