Is it just me or are those UV maps shitty? Especially the Invisomutant.

Damn I love the Health/Energy HUD graphics. Can't wait to see that shit animated.

I like the graphics themselves. I don't like the fad of making game interface distorted to imitate an actual HUD. It's a game interface, no actual HUD would have HP bar, or keyboard shortcuts bar.

I prefer a clear distinction between in game reality and game interface, but it'll be easily fixable with mods, maybe even with just a config file setting.

November Update

Welcome back to another monthly System Shock update!

We have quite a variety of things to show you this month, hackers. Let's start with some in-engine views of the levels.

Characters Update

Here is an update on the Virus Mutant enemy, one of the most abjectly disgusting creatures on Citadel Station.

Getting started, we have some samples of his sprites from the original game.

He even managed to make an appearance in the title screen!

c036bcabc2c54dd88bb9fe159188f3d8_original.jpg

Then we have Robb's update for the remake. The final design underwent a lot of tweaks to visually tie him more to the non-viral Humanoids, but this concept was the primary guide to his overall look.

We showed the hi-poly model of the Virus Mutant in a previous update, but here's the final low-poly topology along with some untextured renderings from within 3d Studio Max.

And some images of the Virus Mutant in Substance Painter, along with his UV layout. To keep with our chunky, retro-themed texture style, the Viral Mutant, like most of our human-sized characters, fits within a single 512x512 texture.

Also, here are some untextured shots of the final topology for the Cyborg Assassin, whose UVs are currently being finalized. Due to his sheer amount of gear and implants, the model's surface area is large enough to justify getting a 1024x1024 texture.

Concept Corner

During these updates, we like to show you the amazing concept work from Robb Water's before we get into the nitty-gritty of it coming together in-engine.

Shown above is a sneak peek into what you will be seeing in the upcoming updates for the Systems Engineering level! One thing that is great to appreciate is the mood and coloring of moving between the levels of Citadel Station.

Now that you have seen the final Virus Mutant model, why not start to picture this lovely mutant, the Cyborg Mutant.

One of the great things about bringing Citadel Station to life into a modern engine is that we can create the larger props and bots that were not possible in the 90's. The lift bot only makes sense for immersive world-building!

If you ask their Discord, the delusional souls there still think this is coming out in 2020... :D

This is DOA at any rate. It may never come and if it does it'll look like an unappealing second rate indie project to everyone except most loyal fans.

SS1 is one of the best games ever created, it deserved better.

I'm guessing that enormously stupid decision, a few years ago, of taking the game in another direction burned a big chunk of their funding.
Perphaps that may have been the reason they decided to go back to the remake, since they realised that project was more they could afford?

I hate blue lights everywhere, what is wrong with white lights ?

It was passable on medical deck since it had blue theme, but maintenance one looks terrible with all these blue lights that make no sense.

It's wild reading the first few pages of this thread. People were so optimistic about the future of System Shock.

It would be so hilarious if this is signaling an imminent engine change like the demo from 2016.

Shit performance. And now it crashes everytime I wanna launch the game. Great job, Stephen.

The crash is caused by changing the graphics settings, to fix it delete the config files in AppData\Local\SystemReShock\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor. The game will rebuild the files next time you launch it.
