(Spoiler Alert! Doctors story)Hey everyone!So a while back I sketched  this room for the Plorks ship.  It's an observatory, and as you can see Plork has been keeing an eye on Keen ship :)

Now the telescope really tells a story here, and so I wanted to give it a prominent place in the room.  But just  hanging from the ceiling  didn't feel quite right.  And placing it on the ground just felt a bit too...'human'? And so for a while I tried to figure out what to do here.  

So I made a few rough sketches and eventually found the solution by adding the circular walkway to the image. I suppose it workes because every walkway/staircase automatically makes the thing at the end of it important... right? :) So that's where I added the telescope. And on top of that, the walkway also gave some more direction to the composition and left me with a nice  spot to add some alien- computers :)

Now these alien-computers tell another part of the story, and if you click on them Keen will end up here.

You might remember that I made a red version of this image before, just as a first test for the alien architecture. But I decided I could reuse it for the story, and so here it is again :) As you can see, this is also where the Doctors computers ended up...and Keen will soon figure out why.  But... that's all I'll say about the observatory!  Next time I will show you another room of this ship, and reveal a bit more of the Doctors story again.  I hope you like it so far :)  Have a great weekend & all the best!-Robin

Love it so far I love your art style

Interesting how the color palette used for the alien ship is very different from that of Keen's home ship, reinforcing the feeling that the alien ship is a "strange place". The colors on Keen's ship are typically very warm and/or bright, but the alien interiors tend toward cool and/or dark. A very clever bit of "color psychology" in play there, Robin! Thank you! :-)

Hey Dacer, That's well spotted! I indeed tried to stick with the blue/purple colors to make the enviorment feel more alien. But I think I will add a few more color variations to the details of the rooms. I still have to place a few items here and there ;)

I'm a new subscriber, so I was wondering how often does the game get updated/patched?

Hey Ryan! Thanks for the support :) And I do a game update every 3 months (give or take a few days) counting from the date of the last release. So the next update will be in about 2 months from now ;) All the best! Robin
