Introducing the artists of Train Conductor
0 Comments | Posted by Agent Simon in Train Conductor
Train Conductor is looking great and it’s thanks to the efforts of Logan Dowell, Derek Pritchard, Joe Gatling and Jarrod Andersen, our nationally distributed art team.
Logan Dowell and Derek Pritchard were selected to join the Agent ranks as part of the QANTM college internship program. together they developed the level backdrops of Sydney and Melbourne, created numerous train models, and designed the entire menu art style. They also collaborated together to produce the wonderful loading screens and game website, amongst many other things. The pending release of Train Conductor marks their explosive debut into the games industry.
Joe Gatling, a long standing friend and fellow university graduate member of our sif90 roots, initially set the style of the game seen in the early teaser images, and they became the defacto style guide for the rest of the development process.
Jarrod Andersen connected with The Agents through a serendipitous reddit post in July 2009. Jarrod developed the Mr. Train Conductor character and set the initial train model style, as well as the scary Skull Train.
We are tremendously grateful for their assistance and the beauty of the final game is a tribute to their efforts.

Also – we are reviving the somewhat dying art of the desktop background! While we were making the icon, we thought we’d put these images up as well – they’re the wallpaper de rigueur for everyone in our office now
