The Plot Thickens…

 

 

 

 

 

So we needed a little help from our friends and brought in Afsoon Shahriari to do some concept art. The initial idea was to use a random venue, a bit like the Maniac Mansion but then I thought, why don’t we model it after our favourite venue in the world? And the name transformed from Loco Mansion to Locomotion signifying the heavily animated spirit the story entails, or the train it/he has to catch.

Ben Rittmann had already done some wonderful pixel art for that matter:

So we know there’s going to be a Victorian ghost in there, just still figuring out what it’s all gonna be about! It will probably have broad Geordie accent! And should it be cartoony on the cover or not? What would you do with it?

Another thing that need to be decided is should you select a playing character in the beginning or 3 out of the lot like good old Maniac Mansion.

Phase

Phase is a post punk act based in the UK. They debuted in 2008 with their digital single Perdition under Microsoft’s “Playlist Seven” promotional campaign for Windows 7, which was followed by two full-length albums: In Consequence and the Wait. Although far from mainstream, they've got considerable attention from major and indie radios, as well as streaming services' playlists, while they've made it in Billboard, reaching #42 on ‘Uncharted’ and #12 in the ‘Fastest Rising Act’ chart. From all the safe territories in the world, Phase has performed in Syria, and are said to be the second international rock act, after the Gorillaz, ever to play there. The band has shared stages with various artists some of which had some evident impact on their style like: Anneke van Giersbergen, Danny Cavanagh, Sivert Hoyem (ex-Mardugada), Jeff Martin (The Tea Party), The Twillight Sad, Antimatter just to mention a few, and at the minute they are working feverishly on the material that will feature on their future releases. Share Shape, Space... Phase!
