Chae Young Oh's log
-Before I started to write about hacker's background, I researched different hackers background to implement and make interesting stories. For example, from <The Untold Story of the Tenn Hackers> I thought of the relationship between hackers and money.
HACKERS FONT
In terms of design, hacker's font is very important. The sourcefoundry site provides different fonts for different designs. It gave a lot of ideas about the theme that we are working on.
SURVIVAL GAME - ON STEAM
Even though we did not have enough technologies to make complicate games, I played many free steam survival games so that I can compare.
SURVIVAL THEME MOVIES
Film <Train to Busan> was a big inspiration for finalizing the project in terms of survival strategies. It is a zombie movie without using a gun and people trying to survive their way out of a city.
Film <Mad Max> is another survival chasing and also racing movie that I thought could be used in further game development. Characters are interesting enough and the theme fits the concept of the game that I personally think that it can be made into a physical game.
