FP - Concept and Design
Saturday, April 9, 2011
Just for fun, we decided to set our futuristic story in the year 2208 (the module code!). The premise would be a school field trip to a GM food factory, where the main character separates from the class and the main events of the story unfold.
For the character design, we considered both a girl and a boy for the main character:
Since boys are typically more likely to wander off by themselves in a strange place, we decided on the boy. He has no name, since he is merely a vessel that moves the story along, and is not the real focus of the story.
We also drafted some rough concept art to visualise some of the key settings and elements that would appear in our story:
the clean, sleek outer section of factory that the students are touring
the darker, more sinister area where the unethical practices take place + some ideas for mutated animals created by the factory's genetic experimentation
holding cells for human test subjects who suffer side effects from eating modified meat + close up of such a victim
the meat mincing machine that will trap and injure the main character posted at
