My vision of Emotion follows.....

The thing is set in space and some of it is current space technology and
some of it is a bit futuristic... but all objects must look credible.  Thus
all the translucent objects have to be under some futuristic pretence...
e.g.: the ship's shield may eventually have some electrical dischage or
aurora texture to demonstrate that it is some sort of electrical force-field
bobbins.

The game is a depiction of a fictional real life event (if that makes
sense).  E.g. the ship object is an actual ship ......and it is not just
that shape because it looks interesting and is 'pointy'.

Every thing should look vivid and clean so there should be only few textures
that look dirty or corroded if any --- if the spaceship was perceived to be
a shuttle craft that made re-entries then that for example might have dirt
on its underside and nose cone.

Objects should look precision made --- any pannels which are perceivable are
only perceivable from their shading or shape and not because of any gaps or
over-laps between them.  There should be no obvious fixings like rivits or
bolts.

The background should be made-up of real astronomical features or credible
imaginary ones... so Matt's background is ideal (when it's fixed ofcourse)
.... and at the same time it provides a lot of colour with not much black
void.

Vivid colour is good....and any vivid colour is all the better if it has be
a credible reason for it's inclusion -- in the context of the game being a
real life event.

... I think that's it.
