Jumpgate Evolution ships and concept art
A smattering of game assets I created while working on Jumpgate: Evolution in 2008-2011. Near the end of development, we had over 300 flyable ships and nearly 100 fully-populated systems to explore. Unfortunately, the project never launched. Always fun to go back and look at all the (now, very low-poly) assets I made.
Key art image created to inspire the direction of the Solrain faction in the game.
Concept art for a medium-fighter ship for the Solrain faction. Their ships took design cues from sports cars.
Hyperial capital ship. Windows on the side of this alien ship exposed a rotating power shaft that ran the length of the ship.
The ancient Amanath race, though now extinct, had drones and automated giant patrol ships that were a major force for players to contend with.
A corvette-class Solrain ship. We were still debating whether players would be allowed to fly these.
A concept for the parasitic Conflux's 'giant space squids' that invaded the galaxy.
Finalized logos (+embellishment) for each of the factions: Solrain, Octavius, and Quantar.
Ending shot from an Octavius-faction themed trailer where I built all of the pre-rendered animations/scenes.
Near the end of the project, we were finally getting around to conceptualizing what the faction-specific cockpits would look like. It was fun to fly around with. The struts/supports had to be thin so that 1st-person players wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
A small light Hyperial (non-player faction) fighter. These were quick and small - making them hard to hit. One ship was a minor nuisance, but a small group could be devastating.
