Looking great. I love the lighting in them. I'm guessing this room is being wrapped up?

I'm not to big of the lens flare effect that was in picture 1.

Picture 2 to looks great I see no flaws in that.

Picture 3 It looks nice but maybe add some lighting in front of the poles? It's a bit to dark compared to around it.

Picture 4 Now Not sure if its just me but the shadows look a bit funny on the pillars. Is the lighting fully built?

Overall it looks good just a few things that I see that could be fixed/tweaked. Keep up the good work!

I like Lens flare, but yeah that is a bit too much...

I get a sense of PSOne game inspirations from those screens...

Thank you both for comments. It is still WIP and not sure if you guys noticed but we didn't took any pictures of that view from lens flare are coming, it's the outer view of sun through big window. The reason is that it's still placeholder and that we're still working on it. So the lens flare effect will be adjusted to be nice for eye.

Also Niloc, the reason why some lighting effects may be strange is that all lighting is rebuilt on preview, so it should nice at the end. Aswell as we didn't placed all of the lights where we wanted.

Nice Valentine, our work was always compared by atmosphere to some old and amazing games and that's great achievement for us.

Thanks again guys for comments and suggestions, they keep us happy.
Cheers and have a beer

Ah okay I was figuring it was built on preview settings. That's going to take forever to do the final build... Your computer might catch fire keep some water and a fan near by.

Looks great, but it seems odd to me that this place is so dark. There are many lights and things like plants, which would suggest this is a well-maintained facility, so it doesn't make sense that it would be dark in there.

Why are the plants under domes? Is the air unbreathable or are they to stop vandals?

Luckily I will probably not gonna do the last and final lighting build as there are some stronger computers in team from mine

We're not finished with lighting, I just started to place them around when I posted the latest pictures, so there will be more lights but it will not be overbrightened.

The air is not unbreathable, it's just there because of better looking and let's say that it's there because of vandals

Thanks for comments

They could be a sort of natural CO2 scrubber.

We have at the top of a dome some kind of gadget that is giving all the necessary ingredients to the plants, so they are not gonna die

Dirty atmosphere is pumped into the domes, and clean atmosphere pumped out, and it goes through the proper ventilation routes.

I love the detail you're putting into everything. It's starting to look pretty unique now. I like how the style is a strange mix of futuristic and ancient architecture. This is all aboard the Voltare is it?

It is a very opulent place, will there be grimy places too?

That is beautiful My only note is the square pillars with the brass balls on top look a bit silly. I'd chop of the corners or something so the don't look so primitve

I think that's intentional. Maybe they could do with tapering in at the top a bit, does look a bit odd being perfect cuboids now you mention it.

Thanks mate, we're trying to make unique look and it's good that we're on that way. Nice you got that, the style is exactly mix of futuristic and ancient, that's something that we're doing. Yes, whole Volatere will have mix of this kind of structure.
Quote: "It is a very opulent place, will there be grimy places too?"

Yes, there will be grimy places, Storage room have completely diffrent look and colors, grimy look
Quote: "I want to play now!"

Haha...you'll need to wait for demo that will hopefully appear soon.

Thanks, thanks for this note, the pillar is made from simple BSP brushes so it have that primitive look and like OBese said, that's intentional but there is possibility i'll make some nicer details with it, again thanks for this note.

Thanky you guys for kind comments and thoughts

Yeah, we were looking at the beginning of design which color palette we shall use. You can see which one we used, mix of golden, silver and white colors. Thanks, appreciate it

I have evolved a new piece of music! I am starting to learn how to transition in a more natural way. It now has the flowing quality that I was struggling to achieve before. This could be really epic if I can expand on it well.

@Beno Thanks for the encouragement.

The signs seem to be floating holograms without any source. I would like to see some kind screen that is visibly held in place.
I don't think any of the adverts should be printed: it stands to reason that digital screens are very cheap in this universe (possibly even cheaper than printing a poster!) and the train station will want to make as much money from advertising as possible, so they would use digital screens.

Is this a parallel universe or just far into the future? I ask because reading the adverts it is extremely familiar and I wouldn't want that familiarity if it is supposed to be an alien world. If it is far in the future then they may have developed new words for things and new ways of speaking, new foods and cultures.

Many people have suggested that snails and insects might be key food supplies in the future to deal with food shortages caused by an exploding world population. Maybe things like pizza would become luxuries eaten only by the wealthy elite (cheese would be very expensive to produce in space), while the common folk would eat things like mealworms and beetles. Something like this might be on a takeaway sign:

Thank you, appreciate these kind of comments

@Obese

Man, you're giving some really good comments and suggestions. We're still not sure about printed signs and that needs to be discussed. It's not used before, so it's kind of test. I will see how it fits with same design to hologram, it was just little bit too much of holos.

The setting of game is between sci fi and fantasy, you know a little bit of rusty and advanced technology in same way and the texts will be diffrent that's for sure.
Good idea with the food, at the first I thought what's going on here.
Many thanks obese, a lot of useful tips and critiques. Keep it up with the new pictures and have two beers

Here is a completed version of my tune "Aquarius". I have been learning how to use the synth on my keyboard to make new sounds. Annoyingly the recording was really quiet for some reason so I had to amplify it, but it's still better quality than before, I think.

This game looks great! I think about the top designs that I have seen, and The Island movie. It makes you want to wander around the game.

I think the previous was a bit too fast so here it is slowed down a bit.

The difficulty in learning is not acquiring new knowledge but relinquishing the old.

I made a new recording where the 'echo' is clearer, because I really like its harmonious sound. It was total luck but gives me ideas on how to take this further.
