Welcome to the unofficial official (WTF?) thread of the first Fake Game Project. Over the next two weeks here, a team of artists will be working together to produce materials for an imaginary game concept. For more information about the project as a whole, please visit http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=92132
Video Game, Current Gen (PS2 etc
Goal: Proposal Document for imaginary publishing/funding.
Genre: Survival Horror/Film Noire.
Style: Fairly realistic, slight stylized with some hard-edge western comic influence
"When fictional 1930's Chicago is forcibly evacuated on predictions of horrific earthquakes soon-to-come, private eye Dace Randal evades evacuation on a mysterious tip that arrives in the mail. When night falls in abandoned Chicago, stangely garbed soldiers march the street and strange howls fill the night air. Dace begins to encounter strange, disturbing creatures in the streets, and underground passages that the Chicago sewer district never could've funded. This forthcoming natural disaster isn't what it seems." The feel of this imaginary game will focus on the fear of not knowing, and a lack of power in the face of strange forces. There won't be any huge guns being toted about here.
The team members for the project are currently as follows!
Character Designer: Devil-Insid
Creature Designer: TheGnol
Environment Designer: Prophe
Prop/Weapon Designer: As
GUI/HUD Designer: Fa
Illustrator: WolfBan
Level Designer: Dil
Team members, feel free to post and introduce yourselves. In the meantime, I'll work on a work and assignment schedule for the next two weeks.
Have fun and play fair!
