The Legend of Kilpatrick Development Progress (Entry #1)

In the beginning...

The character that caused quite a stir on the forums recently was that of Nolan Kilpatrick - the main character for our new game, The Legend of Kilpatrick.


That single image unveiled by us almost a month ago, made the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words", really true. Although, let's be realistic, a game isn't just about a good looking picture or a couple of neat concepts. It's much deeper than that, but a game idea and it's conception can be started by just a simple flick of a match.

Since 2004, TLoK has grown from a simple idea, to an in-depth storyline, to 2d concept art:

to 3D older school low poly modeling (500 poly max on characters):

and slowly but surely, the world of TLoK started to come to life a year or so ago with us getting back to developing on TGE:

Where Are We Now?

The Legend of Kilpatrick has always been a game that we at GP Interactive have always wanted to make, but Murphy always strikes and other projects and priorities always got in the way of its development. To the point that it eventually got put onto the backburner for dust to settle on it until we decided to brush it off and start work on it again over the past 4 months.

We are starting over pretty much from scratch with the actual development, but based on our past development experiences with the game and it's trials and tribulations, we are determined and confident that this game will succeed and meet all of our expectations. We are accepting any art, animation, programming/scripting contributions that anyone can provide, or if you'd like to track our progress and give us the support we need, it's very much welcomed!
