Design Works
 |
The Heavy Gear universe is one of the richest settings ever designed for a science fiction game. Countless hours were spent developing a coherent¸ complex yet believable world that would capture the imaginations of casual readers and players alike. Only a tiny portion of the material created was ever shown¸ however. The Heavy Gear Design Works intends to remedy this by giving fans what they've been clamoring for: a "behind the scenes" look of the Dream Pod 9 works.
"The Design Works showcase development sketches and out of print illustrations. Page after page of blueprint-like sketches and drawings display the evolution and functions of the principal vehicles and mechanical systems of the Heavy Gear universe¸ including the Gears themselves. Even the planet itself is featured through a series of breathtaking panoramic shots of the most famous Terranovans vistas¸ all presented in full color. Throughout the book¸ the design team explains the context¸ origin and function of all illustrations.
