Forums - Gaming Discussion - Codename: "HANDICAP" - upcoming project

CGI-Quality said:

Certainly - though I had. Sorry.

We researched ideas and topics used a lot and figured we'd tried something different. I was the initial mastermind behind the concept, but the team has been extraordinary in filling in many of the blanks I left. That is to take a place with characters that have real hindrances to everyday life, and force them to beat incredible odds. Not just character flaws but real "handicaps", if you will (when I can reveal the real name, things will fall into place).

We call it a Psychological Drama because nearly everything involves looking into one's own psyche, while being able to deal with the drama. It will be an evolvbing project, but we're going to cut what's unnecessary and let people try the game out at different stages. Right now, it's single-player only. 


no need to be sorry, there were tons of people asking you countless stuff. well CGI, i was interested before in knowing what your game was, but now that i do this is how i feel

 

if you cant answer my question i fully understand. but coming to a game like this, you have each character with a handicap, that seems to be effecting gameplay immensely which seems to be the opposite of every other video game where the main character has something "special" gameplay wise, wether its super strength, jumping like a monkey or other stuff. my question is, how did you guys approach gameplay with the handicapped characters, and how did you guys try to make it compeling? i mean, literally there is nothing compeling about being handicaped, how is it that you will make the players feel "immeresed" into the gameplay without the handicap breaking it?

if you cant answer i really understand im just finding this project really interesting. will be telling my friends about it

Hm.. I like the concept for the game, but as for the art, well, I noticed some problems there.

Like, the head is very big compared to the body, even for a ~ 12 year old the head should be smaller. And if he is at about that age he has a pretty high forehead, he will surely go bald by 25.

Hand postures in pic 2 + 3 seem really unnatural. I don't expect him to know the perfect way to hold a Katana or a staff(?), but the way he is doing it now is awkward.

And yea the most glaring thing ofcourse is the rubber/latex like cloths.. is that a conscious design choice?


It's a work in progress.  Also handicapped people sometimes have big heads.

his handicap is "Morbus Ménière", which doesn't have any influence on the body proportions (and usually patients are between 40-60 years old, but well..)



Will there be a limited edition?

Man I still remember that argument we had where I nearly burst a blood vessel because I called Heavy Rain an adventure game and you insist it wasn't because you thought I meant action-adventure ala Tomb Raiders and Uncharted.

Wow how the time has passed! And here you are now, pursuing your dream and living up to your forum name like a baws!

Consider me pre-ordered day one customer my friend.




It sounds as if the difficulty of the game will stem from these individual handicaps. Really interesting concept if I understand correctly.

Overcoming the odds type deal.



2016 is so far away...

Sounds really interesting. Will look forward to more info^^

Wow. To be honest the first one looked kinda weird but the newones you posted are looking really good. So I understand it's story focused right? How confident are you in the voice acting, or probably you haven't started at this stage so what are you aiming for?
