I'm into German Expressionist and Noir films, both of which are big influences on Tim Burton(esp. the former), so yeah there's a bit of him in my work. Batman: The Animated Series(particularly the backgrounds, lighting, and the minimalist textures) are heavy influences on me, too.

Three new screens of a hallway. The seven exterior shots are still up a few posts back. Some of those, interior shots, really old shots(including the crusty color ones) are up at the site.

Looks really cool, always loved the 'batman style' aproche of your game (and site)... Do you leave the dark level geometry just flat (or non?-) shaded? And the white surface shaded too? It's a interesting style, though it could be fairly hard to not become repetative, even with background activity... Anyways it looks good, and good luck with it..

Everything is normal shaded. I experimented with all flat shading, but the drawback was the absence of shadows near static lightsources. I could have always faked them by created "shadow geometry" and making it black(which be very cool if done right), but that would be a royal pain in these environments. Another way would be sprite lights/shadows. Maybe I'll mess with that on a rainy day.

Looks really good. Just goes to show that you don't have to make a game loaded with overdone textures and thingsto make it look good. Very nice. Any ideas when you will have it completed? Just curious.
I'm hoping within the next couple of years. I'm going to make an effort to up the output now that I've pretty much found the style I want to work with.

Here's a quicky shot from a final camera position of the revised apartment hallway. Lighting and smoky look are pretty much set in stone, and the light fixtures, rugs, and wall hangings are placeholders. More work to be done.
