This is just fucking tragic. Warren Spector, you’re one of my absolute game design heroes. Why’d you have to go and do this:
Merely concept art, this stuff is nonetheless absolutely abominable. I would love to see stuff like this on Deviantart, but as a visual guideline for a Mickey game? A post apocalyptic steampunk Disney universe. How BORING could you possibly be man?This is the least Disney Disney Disney has ever seen! Disney was ALREADY steampunk! Not “x-treme” enough for you?
Tell me, mr designer hero man, why the world needs another rosy red ideal painted over with the moral grays and apocalypse browns of the post 911s. We already live in a world smeared with shit, and we like nothing better than to add more depressive shit to it. If your idea of brand renewal and going further is by taking the chief characteristics and utterly reversing the polarity, i must confess to serious misgivings about your ability.
There is a rich cosmology to take from. There is a largely overlooked internal logic to the Disney universe that could be used to create an interactive experience where the most mundane things of day to day life could be made mad and incredible, but you choose to break everything and shove it down the post-apocalyptic game world dead-end. Make a darker, edgier Gummi bears while you’re at it. Jesus fucking christ. We do not need more of this brooding depression.
You should be ashamed.
