Space
Quest 4 Design Sketches
Only a handful of the two hundred or so design sketches made for
Space Quest 4 survived the hands of time. Some of these sketches
look the same as in the real game. Sketches from Zondra and the
Super Computer Complex, though, are very different. This gives
us an insight of what the art designers were up to, which ideas
made it into the game, and which ideas were trashed.
All
characters and objects were first drawn down on a so called Character
Sheet (or fact Sheet) (50,6 KB). These
sheets made it easy for the people who were working on the game
to exchange ideas more efficiently and keep track of them in a
orderly fashion. All the sheets would eventually make up a huge
document, containing all the information and descriptions about
the characters and objects of the game. Space Quest 4 was the
first Space Quest to use those sheets.
