Master of Orion re-design

This seems to be an exercise in game design with quite a lot of supporting art as well. I've just glanced over it, but might be an interested read.

I read it, and it looks interesting.. Guy is an awesome artist. However if you back out and look at his list of projects, he says that one has been pretty much abandoned, and looking at the list of projects, he has a good dozen on the go, and none of them are progressed beyond the "drawing pictures" stage.. I'm not sure he's actually a programmer at all.

Edit: Looks like he has a bunch of stuff programmed, at least to a point. I wish he had some completed stuff available for download, the artwork is incredible.

Cool. It's pretty inspiring to see a clean, consistent, if cute style applied to MoO1 and Star Control.

He has tons of game redesigns, mostly just his art. I don't think you should expect to find a finished game from him.
