Dance when your life depends on it

Some time near the end of last year, I got the unique opportunity to create my own brief for my own original intellectual concept. Being a Games Design student, this would obviously be a game, but what was liberating about this rare chance was that I had full control to dictate the rules of, and the content of my creation. I could put in anything- aliens, androids or asexual flesh eating Llamas.

The only draw back was that I had to plan how to create it; budget myself whilst trying to flex all my creative muscles. At the time, one of the story ideas I was playing with was a love story, any love story really, and being a guy I knew I'd probably never, ever approach that genre again unless I knuckled down and got it over with. And so, a foundation was set and I began imposing my personality on it-all the little things I loved, enjoyed or had been influenced by, experienced or had still to experience. I kept myself in check, knowing that I had to create this idea from the ground up.

Pull it out of the limbo wherein all my ideas take up residence and out into the light.

This Blog will showcase that idea's visual development and you'll learn more about the story in posts to come. Stay tuned.
