alternate title: Taizen Chisou is Being Too Hopeful

I hope Charlie doesn't hate me for posting his concept art here :V

I believe I have talked of this before, but a recap for those who have missed, and to keep everything under one space:

The game will be open-world. It will also take place in an enormous city environment.

So it's closer to call it "open-city."

You run in all directions, but your sprite is only drawn left and right. The game is in the style of old-fashioned 2D beat-em-ups such as Streets of Rage, or for a more modern example, the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World game.

You get four characters, each with differing stats and usefulness. You would switch to one of the gun chicks if you needed range, or to one of the guys for power.

The story centers around some weird old dude who is pulling monsters into existence somehow. Normal people can't kill these monsters, so you do.

Also, find the bad guy and beat his ass.

I'm going to be drawing up the character cut-outs for the text engine, but that's all of the graphics I will be doing.

He's doing all the rest <3

I'm also doing the programming, which is probably going to prove to be one of the world's dullest rollercoasters to experience.

I haven't decided about the music, so it might turn out to be a joint effort between the two of us.

And somewhere along the way someone will have to do testing.

I find that one of the major roadblocks in all of my projects would be the graphics division, from a developer and a playtester standpoint.

But that's taken care of now.

Three weeks until we can start. I can't wait.
