The latest developer diary for Dark Void features a look at the art-style, weapon combination and inspiration behind the game. Unsurprisingly enough, the devs admit that BattleStar Galactica and a lot of sci-fi themes from the 1930s played into Dark Void’s concepts.

The game has two varying artistic elements going on at once: on one side there is the metal-age weaponry and steam-punk tech modified by Tesla, appropriately named Tesla Punk. While on the other side of the spectrum there is the highly advanced, techno-alien devices that include laser, phase and plasma technology.
