Dangerous Heaven

10 Apr 2006Hi everybody,
It's passed a lot of months since I posted here the last time, but now the stuff I worked on for the past year it's finished and I want to make you involved.
My name's Federico Ghirardini and I'm one of the guy that worked on "Dangerous Heaven" for RioFX/Frank's Paddock.
This game is published by and started shipping just friday; unfortunately only in Italy by now, but we hope it'll be soon localized for the foreign countries.
This is one of the first games (renamed "dvg") that is expressly deemed for the DVD support: it's a mix between live action parts (attending to reproduce the style from old-school laser-game like space ace, dragon's lair, etc..) and investigation scene, following the line of monkey islands and graphic adventures in general. The cool side is represented by the fact that with this support we can achieve a large portion of the houses, not only gamers specifically that have to choose between pc, sony, nintendo and so on.
The tasks were extremely difficult because this was the first title this team worked on, and the dvd support is quite unstable, but we are pretty happy with the results.
The game is entirely in 3d, and it is a sort of an interactive full leght 3d movie (we counted above 42 minutes of cinematics).
Precisely I was responsably for the lighting/comp in a lot of sequence, various FX and several environments.
Thank for the patience, I hope you will enjoy DH, these are some frames taken directly from in-game sequence, and various sketches.
Bye

10 Apr 2006Hi everybody, I'm so pleased you like our work!
But maybe I wasn't too clear in my explanation
This is the first title expressly made for the DVD platform: you can play it directly on your player, with xbox, pc and so on, anything that can read a standard dvd: in fact the game is based on 2 main genre as I described before, and you'll play it with the normal remote control.
So, actually, there isn't an "engine", like the ones with usually think at, but everything is pre-renderized, like an interactive 3d movie: so the frames you see above are directly taken from the game (how I can also explain... a long long cinematic ).
The storyline is based upon the legendary biblic noah's ark, that a professor found in 1973. However, It seems that a mistic cult called "the nephilim" (a mix between normal human and decayed angels), want to take the strange sarcophagus that was inside the ark, probably because it cointained the remains of Adam, the first human being, and try to mix his blood to extrapolate a superior creature. With the help of destiny, 2 young guys called Tristan and Princu, unconsciously implicated, starts an incredible adventure between pursuits, traps and so on.
If you have other question, please tell me and I promise to reply -
