GRIMM ODDS - Vehicles

... About GRIMM ODDS

  • Unreal 4 first person survival game evolving around Phillip Grimm, the chief engineer of mankind's first interstellar exploration mission. Crash-landed under mysterious circumstances on an alien planet, Phillip has to survive, piece together the events and find a way to get back home.

  • Unfortunately the project and the studio were shut down for non-rational and not project related reasons only 3 month prior to the target launch date and despite an existing offer from a AAA publisher.  

The Vehicles of GRIMM ODDS

For a  Robinson-in-space story you need spaceships and if you want to show convincing wreckage of those, you have to know how they were structured in the first place in functional condition. That is why ‘make it believable’ was one of the main goals for all the tech design in GRIMM ODDS.

All artwork in this section has been created entirely by myself.
