Project have fun, The story.

One of the “rules” or many of them, said that the environment needed to tell a story and it was the artists job to decide how to tell the story.

Problem – Story.

Before one can decide how to tell a story one must have a story to tell.

So this is my Story, a bit of creative writing to get those creative juices flowing.

When the lights go out

There is a house that is lived in by a family. Straight forward enough. Unfortunatley the family dont own the house and the house is set to be demolished If the family cant find the money to buy it. Thats pretty easy to follow.

The lady of the house had a very precious family heirloom that is worth a fortune, but unfortunatley it has been lost in the years she has lived in the house.

That's when the characters come in. Hearing the rumour, objects that are part of the house come alive. Enter main character “flick” and are determined to find said heirloom to prevent the house being demolished and there own demise. Adventure games always my fave. These objects become the “goodies”.

Objects in the house welcome the house to be demolished so they can go on to live in a better place and refuse to assist and even try to hinder the progress of the “goodies”. These objects become enemy characters or “baddies” .

Imagine this. Platform game. xbox 360

Level 1, the hallway.

This is where flick will know for the first time that other “characters” are not there to help him and will face off...no be chased aby “Ryson” the Vacuum cleaner/rhinocerous boss. (he will escape and have to face “Ryson” again later in the game.

From there he will go to the kitchen.

He will make his way to the work tops through a series of challenges, face off's with enemys. To the place where he can talk to his friends, the other light switches. They will be distinguished from him by colour/ or lack of fingerprint on face like he has....

I can imagine the boss will be the kettle. And the area around him will be really steamy, this would look like clouds to him.

One piece of concept art, with a bunch of characters, how would I fit this all in?

I may have to just give a general idea of the environment as a whole rather than one place in the house.
