We have rethought our game idea and fit the original much-loved plot into a different genre in order to show of our artistic skills, which is the point of this project. We are now looking into creating a story driven action/adventure game. This is for the following reasons:
- It will allow us to put our skills to the test in creating rich, original and well backgrounded characters.
- Because we want to go for a well produced and stylized look, it will give our tech artist work for his portfolio.
- Environment wise we will need multi level traversable landscapes with the ideas we have in mind, making for some unique level designs.
Its also an idea that can help put to good use a lot of skills and visible organisation needed to get a job within the industry, for example:
- We will be researching into and following a work ethic/pipeline structure similar to that of the industry.
- We will be aiming to attain a level of industry standards by looking at not only AAA games and the like, but also Indie games. In particular, indie games that have become successful.
- This is our best chance at now creating an organised project that will ultimately have us producing work we want to use in our portfolio's.
