Design a robot contest

[sdfgeoff]

Hello all descentrs

I have been building a descent clone for the last while, and you can see it in the "other 6DOF efforts" forum
Well, I have a problem, and that problem can be solved by anyone here. I have this inability to design awesome looking robots/enemies, so here is the contest:

1) Think up the coolest, awesomest robot possible, that you would like to fight against
2) Draw it. a 3 view is preferred, but any concept drawings will do.
3) Submit it here, in this thread.

4) If I like it, or enough others like it, it will be made, and then put in future updates to the game (there will be many)

Things to keep in mind:
There are huge poly restrictions on the game, so simple blocky shapes are better than flowing organic ones. Also limit the number of cylinders and spheres.
Few moving parts, if any, please, as these are hard to get working properly in the game engine.
You can use any weapons you want, even create new ones. Saws, beams etc. I will try and do them.
If you want, you can also state the speed, and armor. If you don't I will just assign a number I feel appropriate.

This contest will close when I have enough designs.

Show me that secret design you've wished to see in descent for years....

Talk to MetalBeast I bet he has a few laying around

[sdfgeoff]

Oh, I'm not asking for models (I can't convert between descent format and the mesh type I'm using), only concept art.
But I will talk to MetalBeast anyway, and see what he has.

Something random, maybe?

[sdfgeoff]

Awesome, I might just have to replace some of the spheres with other shapes, but otherwise it's looking good.

Do you have a name for it?

I'll start work on this now, and post an image when I'm done.

Hi,

In my gallery there is a new folder "Robot concepts".



There are already few of my older robot concepts, never finished.
Fell free to remodel them or use as inspiration.

I will put more of them, if I will find any in my big screenshot-folder

Maybe have one that you have to get behind to kill:

That last robot of your Isaac never got made, until one of my team members came up with the idea of a robot guarding a door with a force field. Of course, for that the force field is much bigger, but here you go:

I have a little bit of concept art for a project that's still in the planning stages, but I doubt the drawings are good enough to be of use to anyone who doesn't have the picture in his mind's eye already. I might post them here anyway (I can always come up with new designs I think), once I get them out from under all my Magic cards.
I've written some pretty comprehensive descriptions of them as well, which might help to understand what the drawings are trying to show a bit better.

[sdfgeoff]

Do, designs are more than welcome still.

Hi there.

I'd also like to post some robots that I've been thinking... If you are still interested?

[sdfgeoff]

Yup, still interested.
You use 3ds don't You? That will be fine.

If you're interested in becoming a developer then sign up to the defender forums. This will let you have access to versions of the game before they become public. Although some of these may not work at all.... (at the moment the ai is undergoing redev and won't shoot at you).
