'RADAMANT' Exo-sub

[Human_Planet_Studio]

If I decided to make useful content for our game even in this training, no reason to give up!
Besides it is keeping up my 3D skills, I still study that. So I need to put some cool textures and then go on with it in Unity.

This time Exo-sub ‘RADAMANT’ will start up, as rocket. While it can move in any direction.

50 meters long, with a nuclear power plant, hutches for launching small robots, a crew of 4-5 people.

Fins: 4 in front and 4 behind can rotate, plus reactive micro-maneuver with small jets.
Well… for sprint races the submarine is not intended

This is a research submarine
Plus the system of heat removal from the reactor from the rear adds ability to maneuver by water jet.

That looks so professional How long did this take to make?

[Human_Planet_Studio]

5-6 hours approximately. From pencil scratch to this lowpoly. 4,5 polygons.

I would love to see the pencil version

[Human_Planet_Studio]

Wait a minute.
Bye the way I modeled it basing on these references.

Radamant trace

Well… as you may guess that will be a space game. Slightly related to the history of main game project that we develop now. In one background story there was an submarine for exploration of ocean under the ice of moon Europa in Jupiter System. It’s name ‘Radamant’. That relates to mythology of Ancient Greece. So the submarine is under deep water layers and ice bulks… in darkness and probably its fuel limits are coming to end. The only chance to escape is to follow trace of ice breaks, that can…

Here is pencil sketch.

Usually I make public pencil drawings more attractive, this is just for internal use, but I can share it, no matter. That particular was a sketch for me.

[p4nu]

It’s great to see rough drawings from time to time imo. You have also quite good drawing skills based on the most detailed sketch.

Do you want to know more about our space game project?

[p4nu]

I’m not very interested in playing space games nowadays but sure you can give links where I can find more info. Who knows if I get interested after seeing more of this.

At present state, after renewing of content, almost no content translated to English. But we shall fix this in some perspective, and now put content into new site, still not in public access, may in several days.
Look at images in developer diary.
May be that can make sense.

I have some knowledge of Russian so I can read it but don’t really know what it all means

[Human_Planet_Studio]

Okay, I can write main ideas.

1. S.A.N.E. Space Adventure and Exploration. That means NO WAR content at all.
2. The strange and powerful force form space, so called FACTOR. or Irresistible Factor…
   here are some images of bad game end…
   form or artist Anastasiya
   
   
   

This is in meaning similar to ‘The Great Filter’ or some other matter, mentioned in old soviet Sci-Fy by Strugatskie - it is known as novel ‘Definitely Maybe’

By the way there are 2 movies… for me they are about FACTOR.

1st shows the victory of Humanity. ‘Eolomea’ (1972)
2nd shows the victory of Factor. ‘Operation Ganymed’ (1977).

Lets go back to game idea.

3. Educational content. Like ‘Astronomy’ course, but in game.

4. Expansion of the game in to real world. Even in-game encyclopedia has links to prototypes of space missions, that are used in game.

5. The attention on Soviet and Russian space missions and concepts. Just because most of developer team are in Russian Federation. But at the middle of storyline the origin of space agency ‘KORONA’ becomes truly all-human initiative. Like Azimov’s Academy - the only power that can overcome FACTOR.

KORONA (or Crown in English) is not only symbol of state power.
The main meaning is that it is brightest and hottest, light seen even in total darkness of eclipse.

Looks interesting. I’ll look forward to more content.

Okay. Now we are developing alpha-version. It is about Mars exploration. 4th storyline episode. First ingame manned mission to Mars (not first in history). The ‘RADAMANT’ exo-sub is from exploration of Jupiter System. 22nd century, later part of 5th episode.

1 ep - equatorial space launches.
2 ep - orbital infrastructure
3 ep - lunar infrastructure
4 ep - mars exploration
5 ep Jupiter system
6 ep Saturn system, Second Home on Titan.
7 ep Project ‘RANGE’. Venus, Mercury, moons of Neptune and Uranus, Pluto… finding strange object, orbiting Pluto…
8 ep Starting two interstellar missions. Manned and automatic. Decryption of message from Pluto object.

I was hardly busy with making some models for main game development now. For example, that was a total re-topology of Hub and platform for landing complex…

But besides… there was an idea about making… mobile version of Game. It lightened up yesterday!

So I used some materials created here for RADAMNT exo-sub.

This is like a title image for… EXPEDITION VERSION of game

P.S. I redesigned some details of control fins as it advised by specialists in sub-marines.
