Description
... sometimes some of the most fun things to work on a game is ANYTHING that changes the routine a bit, even if that's something as simple as designing 'energy signatures'.... this kind of stuff is not generally the concept designers job, BUT I find it's good to give the particle FX artist a rough idea of what the hell I was thinking....
....take the top cannon for example: it doesn't have a 'canon' or anything that shows "this is where the blast comes from', SO with that one I felt I HAD to roughly show what the hell it does... otherwise it just looks like a big flashlight or something.
Energy signatures are also VERY important I think in being able to differentiate 'factions'... these here are 'S.T.A.R. labs', so I figure they shoot energy blasts (vs. say, League of Assassins, who shoot mainly flechettes)..... then again, it's just nice to get away from something as 'specific' as designing tech, to something much more abstract, in the case of coming up with 'energy signature' ideas.
