Project Magritte
Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2007 5:41 pm
Hello, Friends,
let me introduce myself and my work. I am Polish journalist working for big game developer City Interactive and as a marketing director for game publisher OniMedia. I am member of PTBG - Game Research Association of Poland. A couple months ago I presented Adventure Maker on 2nd International Conference "Culture-Generative Function of Games - Game in the Education, Media and Society" (Poznan, Poland, November 2006 - http://gry2.konferencja.org/page.php?id=1431). I am studying "E-communication and digital media". For my diploma I decided to create an adventure game with AM, which IMHO is really fantastic engine.
My game (working title "Magritte") is a surrealistic thriller. The action of this story happens in really magical old Polish city - Wroclaw. Our hero appears there, but in the other reality, where lots of strange things happen, where live fantastic creations of surrealistic painter Rene Magritte. We must find a mysterious Saver, give him special artefacts, rescue the other person from one of Magritte's painting and return to our reality.
This game has two goals. One is a typical adventure fun. But the second one is special - because this game will teach - give player information about painting of one of the world greatest surrealistic painters. I want to convince my professors of educational power of adventure games.
For now I have a couple of first locations. My band called TRH (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dqJshxW5MY) is preparing sounds and music in horror climate. In game you will find many weird characters from paintings, personal diary of our protagoniste, alternative ending, and, I hope so, many more.
So please, keep you fingers crossed! I must finish my project this June. I will be informing you about work progress.
Best regards,
Martin M. Drews aka Bzyk
PS. Here they are two locations. One with one of Magritte's character called Son of the Man (source - Magritte's painting: http://www.latifm.com/artists/image/magritte-rene-the-son-of-man.jpg). Second with the icon of diary.
