The Adrenaline Vault has posted an interview with Ken Veal, the lead designer at RayLogic for Dark Ore, a game in which you need to construct a space station[BLOCK]I enjoy following the NASA space station program, and often wondered if there was a way to have a player build a 3D space station as part of a game. I originally considered doing a realistic sim based on the NASA program, but I thought it would be more fun to use the station-building concept in an action combat setting. I wanted the space stations to appear worn and piecemeal -- a kind of space noir look. I hesitated attempting the game initially, because I thought the interface the player would have to use to build a free-form 3D station would be too complex, but fortunately it worked out just fine.
