The Project
Advent Rising was the first in a planned trilogy of games under the banner Advent Trilogy. The game had a promising future having had its script written by well known science fiction writer Orson Scott Card but fell short on sales so the planned trilogy never was completed.
For this project I wanted a very alien looking interface so went about designing a HUD that matched the alien architecture featured in the game. I wanted to create a site that had depth and matched the massive script behind it. To do this each section was opened with a video cut scene from the cinematics feature in the game.
The website entrance page to the site was also linked into the clients time, visiting the site in the morning gave you a view of the planet in the morning, likewise if you visited in the evening you were presented with a planet at night, the effect was produced from four rendered frames and very subtle alpha transparency to produce what looked like a smooth transition through the full 24 hours.
