A Caribbean Island is the way to go!

Hey guys,

It's the lead artist on Desire FX here... As you might have read already in the previous posts, we have been going through some crucial changes in terms of game design and art direction. We finally have a massive mood board up with endless amounts of pictures from the Bahamas and Jamaica as these two locations are my inspirational islands for our own creations. The fact that we have this grand image library helps us all get a better idea on what we are trying to create and what the feel of our game is. It took us some time to get this done, especially because it tooks us some time to understand the importance of these type of mood boards. On the other hand, all of this would never have been possible with the help of David, a EA Games veteran who has been around for about 12 years with the company. Not only was it a wonderful gesture of him to come down and provide us with the prints, he has always been amongst the developing teams to help out and provide us with his wise knowledge. I for one, appreciate that a lot and I admire his dedication to our cause.

Aside from that, not much new has been happening. Introversion games have been round and we have managed to see the gaming industry from a completely different point of view which was lovely. Mark and Vicky seemed like wonderful people with a great sense of humour. To end of the day, we had a wonderful EA programmer to explain to us on how to approach the development of our video game prototype which is what we needed in order to advance in the right direction. Oh and before I forget... yesterday was payday and guess what I got myself... A NINTENDO DS! Finally!!! So you know what I will be doing this weekend ;) See you guys next week!
