We wanted to take a while to reflect on some of our old designs for the X-Morph spaceship. It took us quite a while to develop the final look and feel. We went through a couple of design stages, each with numerous prototypes.
The first design which you can see above comes from August 2010 - yes, that's right it's eight years old, and we were still hard at work on Zombie Driver HD back then. It included mechanical tentacles that were supposed to impale and devour humans - which would regenerate the ship's health.

The concept design renders above represent one of our machine-flesh approaches. We wanted to make the X-Morph feel unique by combining advanced technology with agresive biological mutation. These concepts looked really great upclose, but in the end it was really hard to show them well from a distant perspective. Huge amounts of detail created a lot of pixel noise and the resulting complex shapes were hard to distinguish during intense gameplay.
