The Start

After a lecture on what to provide for a presentation as well as the course in whole, I already had a few ideas that I want to work on.

I enjoy creating characters stories and playing Indie games as i like the visual content or how different it is compared to other games. I want to research how they comes to their design and create characters and stories.

I will look at different medias used for concept and start looking at games from the 90's to present. I want to explore the environment used in games as well as the stories.

I am interested in myths, legends and fairy tales so i may look further into them and decide on stories and how they play out. Around Dundee there is the Law Hill, Balgay Park, Baxters Park, etc that can be helpful for creating a fantasy environment as well as old legends (White ladies bridge) that can play a huge part.

I will also look at different stories from centuries ago such as The Brothers Grimm, Rudyard Kipling, Greek and Viking legends.

Researching concept art on different games will play a huge part to my design and from that I can create my unique style. It will be 2D and more developed with the use of Ilustrator and PhotoShop.
