A Monster Chasing you with in this Infinite city
About
You are an average citizen who one day enters a rumoured city of fog, where no one comes back from. The urban legend comes from reports of “ghost” people running in the city at night.
While looking at your phone the city becomes darker, you begin to struggle to breath until you stumble into the light of a streetlamp. Dazed you look around you..... fear sets in as you realise that the once busy bustling city is now a dark dreich realm of fog and buildings.
The Start
Background
This project was developed as part of an assignment exploring the concept of infinity.
I had been developing a concept of a boundless cityscape where the player is trapped not in space but through being able to only see a short distance and hear beyond.
Taking this concept I tried to imagine what it would feel like; you are trapped in a world you can hardly see with sounds going on and limited time to feel safe.
To create the atmosphere I explored how colours play a role in the world building. What colour would be associated with the danger of the creatures, what colour means safety, etc?.
Questions I asked myself
How do I want the player to move
What about the creatures how do they live in this world?
What do they look like?
Is there a greater reason as to why we are here?
These are just a handful of the questions I asked during this process and some that are yet to answer.
Currently this project is a child, it has not found its wings. There is still so much possibility for this project, So many ideas yet to be implemented.
