Nonner242s new Dig Dug art....and more

[nonner242]

Ive had these new ideas for older games for awhile and now I just want to start throwing them out there to ppl. Maybe to get some help?

It usually starts as a game reboot for me in my head then the art for it starts taking over.

Dig Dug is just one of the games that I have a longing to see made over....alittle darker or grown up looking.

I think adding a more realistic story to it and enhacing the game will make it fit right in with current arcade titles.

This is just a rough sketch or work in progress of the game box/flyer art thats been in my head for awhile.

So give me some feedback on this idea or art and tell me if Im the only one that thinks it would be nice to see some games remixed with some moderness

but still stay true to the roots and fun.

And the Dig Dug story goes something like:

After 100 years of the Earth being a dead planet due to our over polluting and WWIII the (UFEC) United Federation of Earth Colonies (which were were formed from some of the lucky 250,000 ppl offworld that survived) have created a bacteria that can bring life back to earth by breaking down radition and other deadly toxins and turn them into a safe nontoxic biproduct. After the cleansing of Earth was complete they started to reseed the earth and fix the Ozone layer. Earth was coming back to lifenow but slowly...too slow. The UFEC was running out of time, food, resources and paitence. The ever growing colonies needed to come back home. So they gathered their top scientist to create a formula to speed up the natural rebith process on Earth. X1-E.D.E.N. was born. X1-EDEN would even bring life back to plants and needed bacteria on Earth at a 100% faster rate but had only a life of 10 days before the effect would disapate and go back to normal. So they released X1-E.D.E.N. into the atmosphere and within 2 days they noticed the drastic growth has begun. 10 days later the Earth looked as beautiful as the garden of Eden. The Colonies started to head back home. Days went by and the UFEC started work on their plans for the new capital, Genicity.As work began, Miners were sent below the surface to gather the much need rock and minerals for the new capitals construction. Thats where the excitment of the new home and fear of what we have created became a reality. The X1-EDEN did not only give rebirth to Earth it also gave life to something evil below as our new imagrates are about to encounter.

 

Something like that....not perfect but ya get the point.

Thank you!

 

And that the word I was looking for..."edgier"! I was in brain fart mode looking for a word to explain the look of the game.

[StanJr]

so what's next for this? Underground comic? Some kick ass paintings or colored pencils? Perhaps a label design?

 

Oh, and can we see a Fygar?

I would love for a programmer to jump aboard. I would really like to do a Jaguar version to get all the color/animation/sound/gameplay in the game. I could do alittle comic but would rather use the time for game art.

If the games was ever to get off the drawing board. Yes, there would be finished box art/lable/instructions/design/concept art and so on...... in FULL COLOR!

 

But I have afew more"rebooted" classic game ideas that might intice ppl more....

But if there is no intrest in this type of stuff I could just stop and spend time on other things.
