Void Crew artist admits Destiny 2 \u201cinspiration\u201d amidst pyramid ship controversy Hutlihut GamesHutlihut Games has come under fire from the Destiny community after the Pyramid Ships shown in Void Crew were thought to look like those in Destiny 2 with one of the Senior Artists admitting that they took \u201cinspiration,\u201d from Bungie\u2019s work. Void Crew is an adventure space sim published by Focus Entertainment. Ahead of its early access launch on September 7, the publisher shared a range of promotional artwork to harbor interest in its new game. However, the reception to that artwork was mixed. While many appreciated the aesthetic and visual quality on display, others questioned why one of the ships looked so alike to those in Destiny 2. These similarities have sparked controversy pushing one of Void Crew\u2019s senior artists to speak up and address the accusations. Void Crew artist addresses Destiny 2 pyramid ship similarities Following criticism that promotional art of Void Crew featured a pyramid ship that looked similar to a Destiny 2 ship, Kristoffer Nissen \u2013 Hutlihut\u2019s 3D Senior Artist \u2013 explained why in the official Void Crew Discord. Nissen admitted: \u201cThere\u2019s some inspiration to be had from Destiny for sure here. Overall the Hollow\u2019s design language is a mixture of lifeless geometric shapes, machinery, and some insect-like details and features.\u201d In a follow-up message, Nissen clarified: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say we have one or two major sources of inspiration. We have design documents and ideas of what enemies we wanted to create. Low, mid, high tier type of enemies and differentiation in sizes and so forth.\u201d Despite defending the similarities the 3D Artist did admit that Hutlihut may have to reconsider some of its art to \u201cstand out more clearly compared to Destiny 2.\u201d Bungie itself hasn\u2019t been immune to copycat accusations with an iconic cutscene revealing the origin of The Witness coming under fire for using a fan\u2019s artwork without permission. The Destiny publisher later apologized, credited, and compensated the artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
