The Magellan is one of, if not THE oldest sketches I have. It actually predates the deWulf universe entirely, and was part of an abortive game design project from high school (much like most high school projects, I suppose!) In large part it was conceptually inspired from the TFN's Hun-cass survey cruisers, but with a… Continue reading Sketches – Magellan Class Exploratory Frigate
Sketches – deWulf Nose Detail Ideas
Pretty much what it sounds like, this was some early concept art on how the open jaw nose could be used on deWulf ships. Bottom left has the survey radar boom that initially inspired the idea (which may come back when capital survey sensors get rolled out). Upper left was playing with the idea of… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Nose Detail Ideas
Sketches – Watchman-class “Storozh” refit
A later design, following the amalgamation of the Sintillan state by the deWulf. This was my first experiment in trying to create a "melded" design that took various aesthetic concepts from both navies and forged them into something that had elements of both designs, but was clearly its own thing. Nominally a frigate, this refit… Continue reading Sketches – Watchman-class “Storozh” refit
News Feed: Unrest Builds
*Catchy news jingle plays* From the very depths of space to the lowest streets of Fenris, deWulf State News brings the facts of the galaxy to your desk! *DSN News!* Good Evening, I'm Grant Eisen, filling in for Janeth Devries. The Krak University States continue to grapple with a total funding freeze after revelations two… Continue reading News Feed: Unrest Builds
Sketches – deWulf Drop Pod
Admittedly, this concept is rather heavily based on what little we saw of the drop sleds from that old classic game Quake 2. While we never really saw much of Bitterman's pod, we did see a few other crashed pods, and we also got a much better look at the whole system in Quake 4.… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Drop Pod
December & 2019 Year Sitrep
And now we're at the end of December, and of the year as well. December was a bit more productive than the rest of the fall. Not really in a kind of "pumping out the turns and the stories" kind of a way. Or sadly even in a "getting product written" kind of a way… Continue reading December & 2019 Year Sitrep
Sketches – Terran Dominion Io-Class Cruiser
The Io-Class Cruiser was the one of the first things I ever laid down for what would eventually become the Terran Dominion. I knew that I wanted to have humanity in the universe somewhere, for a couple of reasons. Firstly because it's always more relevant to write about humans than aliens. Secondly because it also… Continue reading Sketches – Terran Dominion Io-Class Cruiser
