As of today, Stardrive went to open beta phase on Steam.
It's a realtime 4x Space Strategy game by Daniel DiCicco, following the footsteps of the likes of the classic Master of Orion.

I've worked on Stardrive as an artist for 2 years now, a mix of 3d/2d work and also as acting lead artist advising the art direction.
It's been great fun and finally got around to showcase some of the art !

Wow thanks a lot for the kind comments guys !
Cheers Ged !
Ya most race ships (about 9-10) share 1 large texture.
There was a huge amount of modularity, this helped us stay true to the schedule, budget but most important push the quality farther.
Hahahaha cheeky !
Totally missed that one, cheers bro
Bought it like I said I would... and lost my weekend to it. Good game for 4X fans indeed.
Really need to be able to zoom in on the ship designer page though, at 1920x I can barely see what I`m doing or appreciate the pixel art there.
Hah cheers, that's really great to hear !
Thanks for the kind comments, that's awesome to hear !
Ya that feature has been requested numerous times .. and actually my process already included highres versions for the icons before turning them to pixel art.
Obviously with the nature of gamedev some things get implemented before others.
