This is my idea for a kids platform action game with a similar game play to the likes of Rayman and Crash Bandicoot, a simple story with the fight between good and evil.
How Ive reached my idea is not solely on the visual aesthetic of the Broadway boogie woogie painting, instead Ive researched into Mondrian himself and how he has developed his style over the years and how it has changed dramatically from his first pieces to his last. my concept is based on a previous post from this blog titled Mondrian's Distinct Style Change Over Time. He began his career as a teacher in primary education, but while teaching he also practiced painting. Most of his work from this period is naturalistic or impressionistic, consisting largely of landscapes. These pastoral images of his native Holland depict windmills, fields, and rivers, initially in the Dutch Impressionist manner but slowly he became influenced by other movements such as pointillism, the vivid colors of fauvism and most of all cubism. his art became more fragmented to the point of his subjects being completely unrecognisable.
i was also influenced by my blog post entitled Luminance and equiluminance, i found that when the saturation is turned to grey scale, the yellow disappears and blends in with the grey. the idea of having objects disappearing or being taken away, then having to retrieve them came to mind.
With my research in mind i have come up with a concept for a kids game with an age guidance restriction for 7 years old and above. My concept is to create a 3D Platformer game which is lighthearted, comedic, flamboyant and incredibly fun game which ultimately is a fight between good and evil.
The storyline(characters names are not confirmed)
Main Characters
Evil Colin Zeal, the boss of the Zeal Corperation
The Rat Packers, Colin Zeals Henchmen
Mr Jingo, your character (possibly and animal or alien)
Evil Colin Zeal is a very rick buisness man who owns zeal corperations and buys a planet which is bare (planet Zeal), no landscape, no civilisation. As Zeal is so "EVIL" he looks through his telescope and sees a planet he likes and decieds hes going to take all the pieces from that planet and plant them onto his planet. oh so "evil!!!"
The planet in question is where Mr Jingo lives (planet Mondo), nobody special but hes a guy with guts and determination with the personality of Crashbandicoot. Colin zeal and his henchmen (Rat Packers) come onto planet Mondo and begin to start packing away the landscape, once they have packed away all of the pieces they keep them in a cage ready to take back and plant on there planet.
the aim of the game is to finish the levels whilst its still being packed away and get to the end of each level, killing the baddies as you go to reach and unlock the cage and retrieve the pieces. there will be loads of levels from the different places on the planet mondo, eg a jungle level, ice, volcanic, underwater, mountain and even a sky level where the henchmen are trying to pack away the clouds and you have to fly a plane and shoot down the Rat packers.
once you have conquer and retrieved all of the pieces from the levels then you go to planet zeal and work your way into the zeal headquarters for the final showdown with Colin Zeal.
the gameplay will have a very slapstick aproach, especialy the Rat Packers as they will be like the stereotypical stupid side kick. when the world is being packed away it will happen in a very cartoony unrealistic manar, when the rat packers come onto the planet the will carry suit which will seem to be bottemless as they take down trees and put them into suitcases playing on the clasic gags from tom and jerry( and loony toons and will also have a very strong new york broadway feel to Colin zeal and the henchmen characters.
this video is music from tom and jerry, the ending will be the Rat Packers theme
