I like the robot the most... I'm imagining him going about some world collecting these diamonds for points or something like that!

ditching the stupid snail idea

Postby chaitanyak » 04 Aug 2008, 16:54

Decided to ditch the snails, coz they seemed like they belonged in some lame casual gaming kind of scenario...

now i'm taking a robot idea... based on the two robot sketches i had posted earlier. this robot is going to be a speedy racing machine... its also going to have offroad capabilities... so basically a quad bike merged with a humanoid robot :wink: now thats a game character that sounds like it belongs in my kind of game.

anyway heres my initial rough model
