Gees. I think I've taken about a year off from this place. A good break. Now that I've finished my degree and I'm a total arts bum, i can sit around making games again!

Over the last week I've been designing a game with Dylan Sale, called Bean Brigade. Wrote a 4600 word script, and the design doc is a few thousand words at the moment. We are building over our old flying demo, which was a demonstration of how flying could be made to feel really free and pleasurable.

Our Project:
Bean Brigade is a bazaar first person adventure game, which entwines the joyful freedom of flying, and the giggles of absurd adventure games.

The story in tales a land where there is no night. The stars haven't shone for centuries. An eternal sun douses the land. Our unlikely saviour is Federic! Known as the Woman of the Wild, (only after his sex change!) - his/her mission is to bring nighttime back to the land. In this adventure, Federic meets quirky characters, rides floating cows, and even talks to play equipment! This game questions the significants of existence, and acts to remind people to look up at the forgotten stars.

Lol.. These comments are from Jesse and Cameron about the flyer demo (the game Bean Brigade was based on), posted over a year ago. It just cracked me up. Cause Jesse had made a couple of nice comments, but when I saw these two comments one after the other, I found it rather funny because I doubt they'd realise they were posting about the same game a year on, or even remembered that they posted one after the other a year ago.

\\\This does look fascinating. Very surreal.

\\\Very interesting level design, models, and colors you got going there. :)
