X Rebellion - Idea Generation and Production Diary

Brainstorms In order to help me generate ideas for what my final project should be and the research I should get into I started a brainstorm. The only thing I was originally sure about was that this game would contain violence and so I decided on "Warrior" being the first word to spark my imagination.   As you can see, the three words that stimulated a lot of thought and peaked my interest the most were: Cyborg, Mobile Suit and Shinobi. And the bigger picture became clear to me - Ninjas vs. Cyborgs and Robots!... Alright it sounds a bit lame, huh? Well think of it more like... Based in the year 2027, the as we know it no longer exists and absolute power is in the hands of a single empire. As science grows and develops so tpp does man;s greed to control it for himself. And thus war broke out upon the world, decimating all life caught in the crossfire... In the end only one nation was able to rise above all others, its leader sinister and its amassed military powerful and emotionless, transforming itself into and empire that claimed the whole world as its own, its name... Requiem. A young victim of whose parents were lost during the war had now become a righteous man, taught by his foster parent the disciplines of a Shinobi, along with his brothers and sisters, he embarks on his mission to lead a rebellion and bring back peace to the world. So there's the bigger picture of what I have planned for this project, and to convey this story to an audience I plan on utilising my greatest talent which lies in conceptual art. The pieces I have in mind at the moment are 3 characters, 1 scenery, 2 weapons, schematics for a weapon and 2 enemy concepts. Mood Boards After conducting research I was able to gain some insight into how I could truly portray the idea I had come up with through my concept art, and to assist in idea generating and design development, I created 5 mood boards that focus on this.
