Tear down! That’s the word I’m looking for.
I’m trying to figure out the aesthetic for the optics game. I’m thinking medical devices… your character will be a tinkerer or a tech who repairs these devices… and dreams to build one of their own.
Been looking at some medical devices and trying to find photos of the internals.

The Alien set has some great views.
Interesting site for scrolling through the movie instead of watching it. https://alien.cinematic.asia/
It loses a lot but sometimes all you want is to reminisce a bit. It’s like looking at a family photo album. Either way, useful for me to quickly browse shots from the movie.
From the movie Moon (2009). Such a good movie, too.
Cool, you can see lots from Moon’s concept art on the designer’s page on Artstation. Gavin Rothery
I do like that rounded look. It reminds me of synths. I’ll try to find what I mean.
Monome is the only word I can remember.
Here’s an Arturia Mini Lab 3
Nopia
Vongon Replay
It’s the minimalism that’s talking to me, I guess?
Back to movies.
Star Wars
Back to teardowns.
Not many people doing teardowns of medical devices. Maybe not any.
Mostly phones, consoles, and video game controllers.
I just think it’d be neat to have the levels look like little devices that have been partially taken apart. The mirrors and prisms need to be repositioned as part of the repair. There could be little screw holes and heat sinks and fans.
Okay, I found the motherlode. https://www.ifixit.com

These little hooks are classic, too.

Tileset with 45° Angles #
Phew. It’s tricky but I finally got pieces with 45° angles to line up. No art yet. Just getting the tiles all sorted out.
One issue is the four selected tiles on the left are the same as the four selected tiles on the right. I can’t think of a nice way of presenting this tileset without having those four tiles repeated.
Taking a bit of a risk trying something new here. Hope it doesn’t bite me later because I don’t know what the heck I’m doing.
