Title (working):<\/strong> Tomorrow’s Problem<\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong>\u00a0A first-person drinking\/driving\/walking sim following the gonzo wanderings of Clockwise and Cabaret, a talking lizard-man and an accountant on his day off. The player, playing as Clockwise, attempts to piece together an episode where the pair broke onto a country club by collecting tapes and then progressively re-living the events of each tape to find the next.<\/p>\n

Research Statement:<\/strong>\u00a0 I’m exploring the idea of inflicting the player on the world, in the style of Postal or Goat simulator, but with a focus on short form narrative instead of pure violence. I want to explore the idea of what the cost of individuality is, and how it is preserved in modern America, and I want the player to feel free but out of control.<\/p>\n

In terms of experimentation, I am trying to combine pixel graphics, low-poly 3D and text in a psychedelic setting. I want this to be a game mostly lacking a sense of linearity but possessing multiple strong characters. I also want to experiment with using Cabaret as the \u2018protagonist\u2019 while having the player control his partner, and using multiple short-form narratives instead of one main story.<\/p>\n

I want the player to feel a mixture of amusement and a sense that the player is in too deep, out of control.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, I will consider this a successful game if I manage to preserve the identities of my\u00a0pre-existing\u00a0characters in this game, and make an experience that inherently engaging to charge around in.<\/p>\n

This is one of two versions the style I was considering. I want some environmental object to be pixel-based, but I am also considering making the main characters using pixel art as well.<\/p>\n
