Revised version of the alien hunter's moodboard. We're going with a quadruped now as discussed. Going to work on fleshing out the blockout some more after getting the other blockouts done.

Pixel art moodboard and tutorial links

Taking some of the examples from Rhys' moodboard, Aaran and I were able to further refine it to provide a better example of how we want our game to possibly look and feel.

Revamped Alien Moodboards

Reworked both the boards some. For the record, I only chose the bipedal references for their general aesthetic more than their structure. digit-grade legs seem to be the way to go to help increase travelling distance for predators and for pouncing. Acid is also the most common projectile within aliens, and animals have been known to carry poison safely within their system with toxic sacs wherever they need to be dispersed, so that would be the best bet in terms of ranged offence.

Handgun Secondary Referencing - Moodboard

Here are some images of existing sci-fi handgun concepts that we took inspiration on with our sci-fi handgun, we wanted something bulky and seemingly heavy duty but then can visually be upgraded into an smg, we plan to explore the different ways in which we can take our silhouettes and developed designs with a bulky build, we also plan to incorporate pixel textures and coloured lights representing the type of ammo used for the gun:

Alien creature moodboard

Progress on the moodboard so far. Decided to look into burrowing animals/insects for inspiration, considering the possibility that they could have created lairs within the caves already. Carnifex in there for multi-arm idea; two for burrowing, two for offense. Ranged aliens would most likely revolve around spitting and/or lobbing objects and blending in to the caves, offensive would just be rushdown. Most suitable appearance might be reptilian or insectoid, though that could be up for debate.

Environment-Mood/Inspiration board

Here is the Environment Moodboard that I created using Pinterest.On this board are different pins of Sci-fi tunnels and caves showing along the lines of what im thinking , that it wont be all enclosed but have  areas for light to come through as well as bigger spaces for  maybe overhanging pathways and other areas for possible creatures to come out of etc.Some of the images found  are along the colors we discussed in university the oranges and purples,those sorts of colors while others are more generic images.I know that these are just a starting point and am sure throughout the projects development this board will be added to and talked about/developed more in detail.
