Hey Pyke, I've just had the chance to watch that vimeo short of yours. It's looking fantastic, I must say. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us. I also posted a comment (as JJ) on your blog regarding that first scene..
The sound effects are great, and I liked the humorous touch of having the protagonist talk back to the speaker announcement. You'd have to have take the piss now and then to save yourself from going mad in deep space.
The engine also looks very polished for an alpha build - well done!
It's a rather cool coincidence that you started this thread shortly after I had a small sci-fi horror binge. I recently watched Event Horizon, Pandorum, Alien Resurrection and Dante 01. I think you capture the atmosphere of deep space horror quite well. Your style also reminds me of an old game series - Syndicate. Don't know if you ever played it, but it was set in a dystopian future, was extremely violent, and a lot of fun :p
Edit: Also, I'm probably going to slap myself, but what are "Building better worlds", and "groomlake" references to?
