Week 2 Concept
I like the alien eggs! There are awesome. Reminds me of War of the Worlds and its totally doable. Great work Leon. I will do up my nasty chicken model and show you guys during our next meeting. In the mean time, I will also re-draw my farmer to the cartoon style. Good Luck for the test mates!

Second Team Meeting - 19/03/2007
So we met for the first time "officially" today the 19th of March 2007 to discuss the progress of our project. We have been considerably lucky that an idea came to us almost immediatly that we were all happy with and agreed on straight away! A little corny prehaps, but all the more fun and adventurous!!!
GAME STORYLINE -
Imagine your out in farmer country. One night a Meteor Shower disturbs the quaint little barnyard town but unbeknownst to the farmers these meteors were actually...dah, dah, daaaaaaaaahhhhhhh....ALIEN EGGS!!!! *GASP, SHOCK HORROR*
To add to the farmers dreaded nightmare, these eggs hatch into aliens which are out with there nuclear energy to take over the farmland with their crop circles and probe and turn the cutey farm animals into there zombie slaves.
The quietly rumoured as non existant International Farmers Council actually comes together for the first time in a million years to assign 3 farmers a mission - to restore order to the farmer society.
Their mission, if they choose to accept it (sorry couldn't resist ;)) is to anihilate the nasty aliens and save the cutey farm animals by administering the secret anitidote!!!
AUDIENCE - We are highly constrasting corny characters with serious blowing up of BEEP and stuff to attract a broader audience than just farmers, but mostly teenagers 13+. If you hadn't guessed by now the Title of the game is FARMERGEDDON: The invasion has begun. It is a first person CGI game with a Action/adventure genre.
For the look and coloured theme of our game we have so far decided we would like to liken it something to Sonic the hedgehog game. We found some examples of images of the game characters here...

WHO IS WHO AND DOING WHAT??
It was decided that respectively we would design and model our own character representative of us as Farmers for the game, AS LONG AS, we had an agreed style of each character. And for some reason, the guys decided that they would like to model their characters to the style of mine shown here...*Blushing*

- Modelling of finalised characters from todays meeting would have commenced.
- storyboards and layouts finalised for level design and modelling prehaps begun also.
Cow and other character designs
hello again!
Here are some sketches I've been doing of cows. I particularly like the one in centre bottom if we're after a more serious scary character in contrast to our cutesy hero characters...let me know what you think?!
haha crazy alien egg!
Hey guys!Awesome brainstorming has been going on here! I love the idea of a nuclear disaster but I am very keen on the idea of this demise coming in the shape of an egg! Yep yep...im obsessed with the egg...I just think it creates a really cool intro to the game. Just imagine its a nuclear egg developed and planted by some sort of alien and then we can also have some crop circles! The IFC concept to made me chuckle...very cool and lends itself to the more serious thread for the game. And I think we can really push these contrast's and playing off of stereotypes - it will develop a very creative endeavour which is what seems to give Darren a kick! And we'll have plenty of laughter along the way too!
Anyhoo right now im designing some more farm animals - been doing some zombies, playing with the mad cow disease concept. Found this image on www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=92332. Has some awesome concept designs for characters and backgrounds.
I know we'll refine the feel of the game tomorrow, but for now I think I have come up with my farmer hero...
Initially I was thinking of something along the lines of the design of the older looking girl, but during pre-production I came up with the little girl...I think the audience would get more of a kick out of playing her...this innocent looking kid but you can tell she has seen some nasty stuff and therefore has learnt to be tough. The original design is too sexy, doesn't fit with my idea of the feel of the game.
Oh and yeah...ill see you at 9am Monday punks!
Some things I think we need to address in tomorrows meeting are:
- Overall feel of the game and who its aimed at
- Organisation of blog site - end product has to be visual diary - consult outline
- assign roles and clarify whos doing what
- allocate time budget and set goals
Good work punks, take care!
