Moving Out Monday #32 – Showcase: Contraband Cluster
Hey Movers,
Last week we went all guava, but this week we’re going Contraband. Cluster, that is!
Known by the team as PLANET DONUT… why? Who knows, really? After scaling cliff-top mansions and hailed haunted houses, the next logical step was to move in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCEEE!
Having teased you with some floating fun in Neighbourhood Watch HQ, we thought we’d up the ante by cranking up the size of the fans and then making them the focus of the level.
Our designers wanted the fans to be a fun navigation tool to move around the level, but they also wanted them to act as shortcut to move large items rather quickly, should you prove up to the challenge. Do you have the skills?
Now if you’re greedy, you can load up the pitch with as many items as you can muster and when you hit that button you can launch the goods into the truck… or send them spiralling into space.
We had plenty of fun peppering the scene with an assortment of objects to create a mish-mash hobble of a cluttered collection in space, with nods to previous levels. Queue train carriages from The Chase and fountains from Roundabout Mansion, please.
Our artists took the environment to new heights with an epic space setting of distant nebulas and glowing stars.
Lastly, and most importantly… did you see our hidden space explorer? Get your friends together and zoom that camera out just enough to spot our friend.
Until next time,
Team SMG, Moving Out
