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?
