Artbook Pictures

Apologies that this is late going up, as you know family matters have taken my time of late. Here is a selection from the books we looked at previously.

Modern Warfare 2

















Tekken 6























Security


Just a thought in terms of the security/ guards are we married to the idea of having the bald headed door man look. I’m not against it but here’s another style of look worth considering. Its futuristic faceless and they can all look the same and still be realistic.

Another idea I like is the idea of may be the guards being sort of like robots, I know it sounds kind of wollocs but I got the idea from a song video “transform ya” by Chris brown look at the video to see what I mean skip to the middle because the songs not to every ones taste (not exactly the middle Nathan just near the middle ish)

Level
1st - House - Alexander talking to his dad, He takes the sword which was hidden in his dad's bed, Alexander then runs to the exit as he knows Sebastian is on his way hom, before Alexander can escape Sebastian appears, Alexander runs back into his dads room to avoid injury, Sebastian blasts the door down sending Alexander through the window.

2nd - Outside/Roof Jumping - Alexander lands on the floor, he runs through the courtyard, somehow the floor breaks making a domino effect of all the statues around him, He then runs up one of the staues leading him onto the roof, Now he has to jump from roof to roof to escape.

3rd - Land Off Roof - After landing off the roof Alexander Keeps running, He ends up at Back wall no where to go, then secruity arrive, he kills them all, Sebastian arrives again, he goes to blast you but misses, he breaks the wall, Alexander runs through and over the bridge, Bridge collapses when Alexander is safe.

Blood Combat System (BCS)

hey guys Tom here!! :D

For the FMP i came up with the game's gameplay mechanics to help fit around the game lore and make it feel unique. so here is the basic draft. ill be posting more during the week please feel free to add any ideas there needed big time!!


Blood Combat System

The Blood Combat System works like this! As the sword is alive in a way it can truly bond with its wielder in battle by connecting the wielders veins with the swords and uses the wielders blood to access new feats of abilities he hasn't seen before. As you fight you generate blood fury which you can see charge up by the sword steadily turning red aka filling up with blood (up to 3 charges) and once the sword is fully charged with blood you can unleash a devastating attack (depending on the amount of charges) which can obliterate your opponents. The sword can also use blood activate to use defensive style abilities to either temporarily increase health or by thickening your blood to reduce incoming damage for a short time.

Possible Ideas

Just looked through the story (haven’t read it all but I get the general jist)
First off the names Alexander, Sebastian and Adela are amazing.
The story looks really really good and everything ties in nicely.
That being said I have go a few things i want to talk about when the story teams next all together you don’t have to agree if don’t want to and leave a comment if you wanna call me out on anything.
In the story (the bit I’ve looked at)
· it’s not crystal clear as to when the will is left it seems like it left after the dad dies but that sort of contradicts its self because the mother dies years before right?
· If the families so rich why is Alexander doing any work at all?
The only other thing iv got to say is that the stories too linier its great as a skeleton for the story but it needs more twists and turns like:
· Maybe because Alexander is a product of the dad cheating the stepmother only allows him to live in the house as a servant and she scowls at him or has a go at him
· Or maybe the older brothers obsession with getting the sword sort of drives a wedge between the two and the sister begins to show compassion for Alex and lets him escape later in the story.
· Or perhaps you have to decide between retrieving the sword that you’ve dropped and saving Adela from certain death even though she hates you
Any way these are just some ideas we’ll talk properly on Monday.
