Virtual vehicles for the metaverse
With the new airship — the “Terra-Kojima Merlin-class airship”, as we’re calling it — entering beta, I decided that now would be a pretty good time to complete the control panel. Our goal was to establish a Victorian feel to the gauges, buttons, and knobs.
Here it is in all it’s brassy goodness. Concept design and layout, shiny knobs, and curvy needles by Reitsuki Kojima. Scripts and textures by yours truly.
