Concept Art

Desk Wars is a 3D Real Time Strategy that leverages the game-limitation-defying powers of Augmented Reality. Our artist, Arron, thought that since this would be a new genre for all of us it'll be cool to get out of his comfort zone to experiment in a new art style.

The initial concepts were decidedly scifi. Techy, clean and complete with a shiny sheen.

He eventually arrived at what he calls "Junkyard". Some inspirations were drawn from the orks from Warhammer 40K, and the grunge and cool aesthetics seem to fit our game. Initially daunted by the low polygon count (due to it being an AR game on the mobile) he eventually prevailed and came up with a host of customizable parts, one of which is below:
Cool no? This tank is created with a total of less then 400 polygons.
