Style Guidelines

Art

The visual identity of Drone Battles blends futuristic realism with cyber-industrial aesthetics. It should feel gritty yet technologically advanced, appealing to fans of sci-fi PvP games. All visual assets should maintain clarity for gameplay readability, especially on mobile devices.

Visual References / Inspiration

• C.A.T.S game
• BattleBots, Real Steel, Apex Legends (UI clarity & sci-fi motifs)
• Valorant (color-coded elements for readability)
• TRON: Legacy (for glowing, high-contrast outlines and tech elements)
• Industrial drone designs and military robotics

Palette / Moodboard

• Primary Colors: Gunmetal grey, electric blue, neon red, steel white
• Accent Colors: Acid green (SYNDICATE), deep purple (VANTEC), burnt orange (IRONCORE)
• Mood: High-tech, competitive, sleek but not sterile — lighting often includes soft glow effects and contrasting shadows

Concept Art

Environment Aesthetics

• Arenas are modular and stylized but grounded in realism
• Visual indicators for hazards (red pulsing zones, particle FX)
• Environmental storytelling through background drones, screens, graffiti
• Dynamic lighting for immersion (e.g., flickering neon, rotating lights)
