ICARUS.

ICARUS is a game intro I co-wrote, art directed, and directed for the New Zealand company Rocketwerkz, through my old mate Alan Dickson’s company YukFoo. ICARUS is a survival game, you are a prospector on an alien world, you arrive with nothing, so must start by making a stone ax as the first step to surviving and making your fortune on this inhospitable alien planet.

I really enjoyed the chance to work up some more abstract metaphorical ideas for shots on the theme of survival and the prospector’s quest for riches. I think we did a pretty good job considering we only had 7 weeks to turn the job around, which normally would have had a 5 months schedule at least.
