character development: poses and expressions.

Changes

No longer creating a game level, but creating 3D models of the characters and weapons.

Presentation no. 2

• Is it going to work - any problems
• Experiments/trials/examples - concept art?
• Timescale
• Has your FMP altered - why?/to what?

Progress... character previews.

Problems... possible time problems, progress rate at full.

Examples... manga tutorial previews.

Timescale... show timescale.

Altered... no major changes if anything.

To what... unlikely to create a game at the end of it

Andrew 'Gigna' Giganarius

I have to change Gigna's full name.

It's kind of obvious why.

So Gigna is his nickname now, shorter version of his full last name, Giganarius.

Derived from Giganarius = Gigna

Gigna design

A concept for Andy Gigna.

Gigna also has a cyborg arm (his real arm was lost in battle).
As well as more of a 'Cole' / 'Crackdown Agent #1' body structure.

Some examples of his work:

Week off (UPDATE LIAM)

• Character concept sketches (sketchbooks?)
• I'll work on timeline.
• Collate research together for print and doc.

P.S. Craig likes the combat idea.

• Magic defenders getting a large energy boost from defending the spires and Soldier attackers can use air support such as bombing runs (which is absorbed by the spire shield).
• Magic defenders will loose the energy boost if away from spires (e.g. in ParaDM territory) but the soldier defenders can't use air support (collateral damage negates usage).

Force fields use reverse kinetic energy (this allows slow objects to pass through but fast objects to reflect).

Weapon ideas (WILL UPDATE)

Unnamed assault rifle



Unnamed machine gun

Weapons and what-not.

And some predator concept helmets :D

Concept art doodle book

We should get a 'doodle and ideas' sketch book for random ideas we get such as quick armour/clothes designs or weapon ideas. Just saying...

Also comment on some stuff will you Liam.

Presentation #1 over

Craig: Believes that 3 sketchbooks each is good IF we can get it done. We SHOULD do 3 sketchbooks = professional.

Negatives: Time scale on presentation.

Positives: I know what I'm doing, apparently.

Story (REQUIRES UPDATE)

Trinity want to harvest the resources buried within Paradiso, however this destabilizes the balance of nature by removing the energy source that the plants use to grow which also can be safely harnessed by Dynasty. The ParaDM also wants to use the resources that are stored within Paradiso, however to act as an energy source for cities and other urban territory unlike Trinity who want to use the energy as part of a super weapon. Dynasty want to keep the energy sacred and protected from the other two factions.

The story is focused on the Dynasty elite squad and Sierra Niner of the ParaDM, and about Trinity who manipulate both factions into a war so they can use the Paradisian energy.

(Dual concepts)

Characters // Sierra Niner

Sierra Niner // ParaDM
Sy - Michael Symmons
Mist - Kat Michelle
Gigna - Andrew Gigna
Renoa - Renoa Kitsune

Sy:
The leader of Sierra Niner, equipt with a standard issue assault rifle with a visor uplink to look over cover. Usually at the front of an encounter giving suppressive fire while the rest of squad gets into flanking position.

Mist:
Kat is a specialist sniper, the best of the best, her sniper has an SSM12/R scope attachment utilizing it's 12x scope complete with an M12/T thermal imaging attachment for long range heat movement.

Gigna:
He is the explosives expert of the group, also effective in close range combat. Tallest of the squad by about a head height. Gigna also exclusively uses heavy machine guns on vehicles as well as being a back up vehicle operator, second to Sy - being the designated driver / pilot.

Renoa:
Renoa acts as the supporting role to the squad, using an ML4/D pistol as her primary and a H2/SM Submachine gun as her secondary. Renoa holds the most important and valued role in the squad - support. She can work with anyone in the squad; as Sy's assault / flank support, as Mist's spotter using a squad-locked HUD/I helmet, as Gigna's runner to plant detonators and to silently dispatch enemies while he suppresses.

Introduction

For my Final Major Project (FMP) me and Liam are creating concept art for a fictional game of characters, environments, vehicles, weapons, buildings, etc.
