For a good while now, me and a few friends have
been trying to work on a project which is now starting to be developed. It will
appear on Kickstarter and so with this you can have your likeness in our game.
You’re probably asking yourself a few
questions, my good friend Ant will try to answer them here.
1) What is 1985?
1985 is an upcoming first person shooter game
on the unity engine set during a fictional third world war in which London
suffers a direct nuclear strike, and a civil war ensues in the wake.
2) Who is making 1985?
We have a team of around 7 developers,
professional and hobbyist, all with high levels of skill. Darko Subotin and
Thomas will be dealing with your ‘faces!!!’
3) Will this be paid?
Unfortunately no, by agreeing to provide your
face, you will also agree that the final 3d product is the sole property of
1985. We do plan to sell the game in the future, via digital download and the
kickstarter program, in which you will receive a full free version of the game,
as well as a thank you in the credits.
4) What do i need to provide?
Effectively just a frontal photograph of your
face in good light - kind of like a passport photo.
5) What is the process?
Darko Subotin, our animator and conceptual artist
will make a small sketch of the main features of your face, and this will be
sent, along with your original photo to Thomas, who will develop the picture
into a full 3d model.
6) Will it be exactly like me?
I would initially say no. We need to fit you
into the story. Your face might appear fatter, thinner, or slightly different
but there WILL be a very close resemblance.
7) Will I be able to pick my role within the
game?
potentially yes, I will have a few
roles/positions available for your likeness, and I will send you details of
each character. We will however, reserve the right to use your likeness for
anything we choose fit - however you will still retain the right to refuse.
8) I have a friend who is also interested, can
they be involved?
Yes they can, get them in contact with us.
9) How long before I can see something?
Expect a few months before we start sending out
our developed likenesses.
10) Where can I find more information?
(contact edited for Ants sake) You can send
Thomas a message here on his blog for further enquiry or alternatively on his
email: thomasrwbutters[at]gmail.com.
So if you could all send over a likeness of
your face taken from the front, with your email addresses, via Toms email, then
we can get the ball rolling! Thomas and Darko may contact you, if they have
further requirements.
Once again, on behalf of the 1985 Development
team, thank you very much for opting to be part of this.
- Ant
Pretty cool eh?
