00 Today I Worked On


A rough concept and test animation for the delivery vehicle, the Butterfly.

I am not that good at modeling yet so for now I just did a "whitebox" representation of what it will probably end up being. It's a large autonomous tilt-rotor drone that comes at a set scheduled time, probably each day. It's called the Butterfly because of it's two rotors and how it is covered in cameras. It delivers to you and picks up any large crates on the designated area of the helipad. The crates are similar in size to a small car. I originally wanted to have it come closer to weekly, but I think it would be more annoying than it would be worth to make the player get crafty if you suddenly need something more urgently, like a broken part or fuel. It brings anything that your company wants to give to you, such as basic supplies or fuel, but it never quite brings enough. Eventually you can exchange some of your points for the company to deliver you things. I'm thinking later on there could be an optional point fee you can choose to pay to have the drone come faster, or perhaps a small discount for letting it come later. Let me know if this seems like an interesting idea!
