Spacetime Studios have revealed details about it’s under development science fiction-themed MMO Blackstar. The look reflects the makers' focus on creating an identifiable, iconic aesthetic for each character class by locking down the charter type visually, which allows for easier apprehension of the elements of that type by both the developers as well as the publishers. By doing this, the look itself coagulates its insertion into the rest of the game, smoothening the progress and making the game more visually appealing. Check out the complete process as related by Spacetime Studios themselves.
