CREATING THE SPY FACTION, PART 4: VISUAL DESIGN

Reply

The spies grow ever closer to infiltrating the Endless Universe! This week, we launch Part 4 in our espionage faction series, and once again we are counting on you to help us determine the future of galactic reconnaissance.


As a reminder, here is what the previous votes have determined so far:

- Species type: Alien (a non-human species)

- Species origin: Ancient (as old or older than the Endless, and hasn't been shaped or tampered with by them)

- Species morphology: Wraith (an incorporeal life form)


This week we move on to visual design. Here are the three options:



(Click image to enlarge)


  1. Shadow Wraith: a ghostly cloud form
  2. Digital Wraith : a computational, geometric form
  3. Dust Symbiote: a shifting form composed of Dust

We also would like to emphasize that these designs are not finalbut are meant to inform the direction that we will take for the development of the faction.

Omg I can't decide :o For sure not digital option. It'scool, but "geometric cyfro race" slot is taken by Riftborn. The shadow option looks the most unique I think.

either shadow or symboyite for me, as it makes a wraith AND a parasite. maybe created by the Lost? Thats why its made of dust? Now i am definatly going for dust syboite!

Almost chose symbiote but it's too similar to parasite, and shadow wraith seems to follow the incorporeal/wraith theme the best 


+ Digital Wraith, how would they survive that many millennia, all you have to do is destroy their tech and voila, they're gone. So can't fit the ancient faction as well as the Shadow Wraith option.

So close to picking Digital, but I gotta give it to the Shadow Wraith after looking at the full size images. It wins almost by a coin toss for me.

I think the Shadow Wraith is the most fitting. The Digital Wraith doesnt fit the ancient type so well and the Dust Symbiote sounds most plausible, if they are linked with the endless, which contradicts the ancient type as well, because ancient species are "as old or older than the Endless, and havn't been shaped or tampered with by them ".


So my vote goes to the Shadow Wraith.

Parasite did come a relatively close second, maybe we could compromise and have a symbiotic shadow?

Going for the shadow wraith. It can functiom the same as the symbiote and posses others. Also it's just the coolest.

Almost went with the symbiote, but I don't want another race that has to leech other pops... No I want sneaky smart wraith that secretly live inside gas giants.

Shadow wraith seems nice. But I am not sure what dust symbiote is supposed to mean. Are you going to come up with a random human body and dust sprinkled around it? 

Also since its an ancient faction and hasn't come in contact with endless, how is it supposed to be made of dust?

They'd be a form of lost since dust is their lifeblood.

Not trying to support a choice or another... but Dust existed in its primal form long before the Endless even existed ;)

...right @Slowhands?
