These are finished pieces for my small and humble indie game project that I've
been working on for around 3 years now. The concept and main story are already
finalized, and at the moment I'm tinkering with the remaining in-game art and
also metatexts. Still a work in progress to a greater scale, so no actual
release dates or anything too clear yet, as things are in constant yet easygoing
development. It'll be a relaxed light puzzle with minimalistic interface,
laid-back pace and many surprises in the story along the road, and freeware all
the way, that much I'm able to say at this point. :)

A very organic image!

Has the look of something I would want to touch... and not touch at the same
time.
On the subject of sci-fi, I always thought it humorous because of interacting
with environments nothing is known about. Often made a point of, as part of the
story, but amazingly there's either careful testing involved or carefree
roaming. Maybe that's just another reason why I like most things sci-fi.

Very nice!
What was the isosurface you used for that terrain? I wouldn't mind
borrowing that...

The quote sounds familiar....but I cannot place it, and reminds me of the
Clay minds from Shining Bright Eternity by Gregory Benford.

There are two "f_ridged_mf" isosurfaces in the scene.

As I mentioned on the 1st page, my images are finished and official artwork for
an indie game project I'm workin on, thus for now I'm keeping the exact syntaxes
for myself. I'd like to encourage everyone to seek their own path, as there are
good documentations and a couple of very nice tutorials out there as well. ;)

The text is completely my own creation and part of my story. Any similarities to
something else is pure coincidence. :)

I completely agree with that :-) My own exploration of isosurface magic 
have led me to that same conclusion...

Completely understandable, though I am interested in the technique itself
rather than I am the SDL, as that turns out to be more useful in the long
run. ;)
