This year we have been tasked to make another game as a group. We are already pushing on our 4th week of development in a 12 week time frame. Our group is made up of 3 Designers, 2 programmers, a 3D artist and a 2D artist.
What is the game about ?
Our game has to be based on the comedy of George Carlin and Bill Hicks, so taking that in to consideration we decided to make a game based on anti-establishment. The idea of the game is to go about saving brainwashed Americans and overthrowing the government, for by that I don't want to give away too much. Hopefully one day, if you are reading this you might have enough interest to give it a go.
What type of game is it ?
Our game is going to be a 2D platformer in 3D environments. The aim is to have something looking like a cross between Abe's Odyssey and Shadow Complex in terms of layout. As for art style we haven't seen a lot of artwork yet, although so far we have some basic character designs and ideas on themes and levels with 2D backgrounds with 3D models to navigate around in the area.
What's Next ?
Currently we are trying to mock up levels on paper to get them in to our engine and then hopefully some testing. If we are lucky enough this should be done in the next week or two. After that testing, implementation and who knows.
It's going to be a roller coaster ride but I've really never been as excited about a project aside from last years, although luckily we have managed to rekindle the same excitement and passion for developing games as we had back then, so much so we have almost the same team and plan on doing at least one project during the summer.
Would you like to know more ?
Then stay tuned.
