Clash Of The Titans

As the title of this blog suggests, I thought me and Adam may well disagree about how we wanted this project to go. Thankfully, it never came to hand bag's at dawn. Instead we quickly talked about what our personal goals were for this brief and how we wanted to achieve them. Realizing we were on the same page as one another, we then started re-working the initial story. Within the first hour of discussions we had ripped open the first story draft and it was now being spread across a much wider scope. We figured the more we stretched the story and the more epic we could make it, would in turn, allow us more freedom in the design of characters and environments. Also, with the influx of a wide range of settings and characters it would also allow myself and Adams drawing styles not to clash. We could work on different races or settings and when our work came together it would then hopefully sit cohesively together.

Before I give you a quick run down of the now revamped story, I must say that it is still not set in stone. Myself and Adam have enough scope with the story telling, that if we need to make changes within its development, then it wont become a problem for us to do that. (we basically had so many ideas that we feel we have a safety story net!)

A rough overview of the story and events (rough!)

(# indicates that the design of such character or its race is not yet final)

( also planets names have not been decided as of yet)

1. A small ship carrying a female# who is deeply skilled in the art of computer hacking and computer building, is being chased through hyper-space by 3 bounty hunters#. She is finally shot down over the planet (A) Planet A is a very small planet that basically exists as intergalactic dumping ground. It is not marked upon any space coordinates maps as the Galactic Federation turn a blind eye to it, for the votes of its corporate owners. When her ship finally crashes into a towering mound of rubbish and she realizes her pursuers have landed nearby to check on her demise, she thinks her time is finally up. Then in the nick of time our hero (thats you) and his robotic# side kick come to the rescue (this would be the first time it brakes from cut scene to real time) You defend this girl# from all but one of the bounty hunters# who escapes for now. On closer inspection the boy is shocked to the core. Not only is the girl alive, but she is of his race, something that the boy boy has never seen before! He and the robot quickly gather her up and flee the scene as they know the noise and explosions will have not gone unheard by the merciless Tip Ratz.

2. The pair arrive back at there hidden camp and and show there find to ?. (?) he is an ex military commander who was exiled on planet (A) as punishment for refusing to follow the orders to massacre a unarmed tribe of aliens# by his corrupt commander in chief. ? had found the boy 13 years ago at a crash site over on the west side of the planet. Both his parents were killed and so, he has raised him ever since on this ever hostile waste land. Therefore the boy has been highly trained in tactical warfare by (?) and was taught but was also naturally gifted within the skills of mechanical engineering. (?) helps heal the girl. Once back to full strength the girl then explains why she was being chased.

3. The girl tells of how her (and the boys) home planet has been overtaken by a brute alien race. Who are using the captive people as slaves to mine there own planet for its internal power source which is (#). With her highly efficient computer skills she was forced to work for there weapons division. When the opportunity arose, she fled in search of reaching help for her people. The boy is angered to learn that his kind is being held prisoner and with his trusty

sidekick vows to help her in her quest. (?) quickly reminds the boy that there is no escape from this waste land, unless the girl could hack one of the many garbage tubes which are cast down by the (illegal) dump ships that pass over head? With a few collected parts from her broken ship the girl swears she will be able to hack an access into the tubes. The 4 of them, then pack up and head off into the dangerously occupied drop off section, this is the main territory of the Tip Ratz.
