One thing that can be said about this plug is that it is set in a world of high technology. Much like the original plug-in. I've tried hard to define a lot of this technology because it makes for good story material, but also gives the player a little insight as to what kind of things were possible in the world. I also define each planet with cities and some sort of structure as you would expect from a universe with trillions of people in it.
I don't know if any of you guys read comics, but I like the technology of the Vampi series. There's just something cool about it, so I am going for that kind of style. On the otherhand, being an artist myself, I can appreciate the need for a little creative freedom. So even though I would like to lean in a particular direction as far as the look is concerned, I will leave it up to the artist to do some experimenting. If you're wondering about Vampi, here's a link... (url="http://"http://www.anarchy-studios.com")www.anarchy-studios.com(/url) .
Most characters and backgrounds are going to be up to the artist to decide, with a couple of exceptions. I am not any good at drawing generic people, so I leave that to people who are better at it. Heh, heh. The main detective character is predefined because he is a character out of a group of short stories I wrote about ten years ago.
Anyway, I hope that sheds some light on the art situation. If you have questions, feel free to ask.
