Phantasm AM Game

Postby leviathan » Tue May 26, 2009 3:33 pm

I have been lurking around the forum and toying with AM for a couple of years now but haven't really made a solid project yet. During one of my recent "movie nights" it occurred to me that the Phantasm horror movies have a fairly rich mythology begging to be expanded upon. I don't know if anyone here has even heard of the Phantasm movies (if not, look them up!!!) but I am considering tackling this as my first real game. If anyone here has heard of Phantasm I would love your opinion on whether or not you think this is a game that would be worth playing. Let me know.

PS. this would be a freeware game with close to commercial quality graphics if that matters at all.

Welcome to the forum!
Personally I like the theme of these films but I ever have heard about this saga (there are up to 4??).
I think it might be interesting a game based on them.
I am keen to know more about your project.
Good luck!

Was the series about some sort of orb or crystal ball or something?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079714/

Mike, a young teenage boy who has just lost his parents, is afraid to lose his brother. This fear causes him to follow his brother to a funeral, where Mike witnesses the Tall Man lift a coffin on his own. Mike decides to investigate and discovers a horrible world where the Tall Man, along with his flying spheres, shrink the to half their normal size and reanimate them as slaves. It is then up to Mike, his brother, and Reggie the ice cream man to stop the Tall man.

Hm... I've never liked movies created specifically to give you nightmares, but as long as you don't run into copyright issues, go for it!
