In this blog post I will present a few moodboard ideas for what I am creating, some of what I am creating is the main ship (paddle steamer) as well as the inside of the paddle steamer such as the corridors, doors, engine, wheelhouse and much more.
I will also create some smaller models, such as a revolver for the detective, as well as some smaller scale environmental models that will be included in mood boards below.
From these two mood boards I will create multiple assets for the final game.
These being tables and chairs that will be used around the ship to have other assets on top of.
A wheelhouse with included wheel, and appropriate controls.
Benches to sit on.
Corridors with era appropriate wall/ ceiling designs and decorations.
Engine room with engine and correct tools/ items around the room.
