zombie western blog


1. Using some of the techniques discussed in this chapter, begin developing a concept for an original game idea. Discuss the central theme of your idea, and the methods you used to bring your idea into existence.

A western FPS with RPG elements (a level up process/upgrades for weapons etc.) game, around the year 1875, my game will be based around "The gun that won The West", the 1873 Winchester Rifle. In a desert based town called "Ursona - The Town of The Damned". My inspiration has come form a mixture of alot of different games and movies, such as call of "Call of Juarez", "GUN" and "3:10 to Yuma"being that these games/movies are western based. The zombie characteristics of the game, my inspiration has come form many movies and games such as "Shawn of the dead", "28 Days Later", "Zombie-land" and "Left 4 Dead".

2. Create a backstory, environment, and three character descriptions associated with your original game idea. How are these elements integrated and linked through a centraltheme?

My game will follow the story of a single winchester rifle that helps the characters fight there way through the zombie masses and other people in the game world. The characters story's that the player plays will intertwine throught the use of the rifle. Although the game will play like a regular first person shooter, the game will feature multiple characters for the player to play, as the story progresses.

3. Document your concept with reference material and original sketches. How did you capture your reference images? Create thumbnails and silhouettes. Compile these images into an art “bible” to help guide your vision.
