The Contest

This game was made for a one month contest held by the website TigSource.com. The topic of this contest was to create a game inspired by a so-called “fake game cartridge” of the Japanese Famicase collection.

Our game takes place in a world made of clay, similar to what is shown on the cartridge below :

The graphic style is all in 3D, trying to mimic the clay atmosphere, the lighting, and the color scheme of the original cartridge, as much as possible.

The Game

The game design itself is loosely based on the original arcade game ‘Metrocross’ by Namco. The player must run in a corridor, avoid the obstacles (barrels, slowering tiles…), jump on the bumpers, get some items for extra-time, reach the end of the corridor.

I choosed this one, for his nice orange clay look :

Here’s a small peak of the game, so far :

This level was designed with www.gamestart3d.com , as usual, with the assets below :

All these dark level designs I previously started made me feel a bit gloomy… Going outside for a bicycle ride, and visiting the huge city of Berlin, I felt I should imagine something less confined, so I started to doodle this open air design.

I tried to imagine some sort of lost ruin, up in the sky, that the player would reach through a long way made of traps & elevators.

The screenshots were grabbed directly from the engine, with infinite shadow maps & SSAO, yaye

Into the sewer …

Going further with the experiments in GameStart, I started to design a room with a typical “sewer atmosphere” … It was rather promising, then Emman added a water reflection FX on it, and then it looks really awesome.
