Bad Ideas, Bad Drawings






This is some stuff I should've blocked out of my memory. Stuff for an interactive CD-ROM game to teach kids about the ill effects of cocaine. No game architecture document. No consistent art direction. Rules of game play constantly changed. A real pill of a project. It's all in green because "you're looking through night-vision goggles." Riiiight. Back in the days when I was actually working on this, I described it to a friend. His response was, "Wow. That sounds like the worst video game EVER." Yep.

Uh...no, night vision isn't a side effect of cocaine. There's some back story with a kid who thinks he's some kind of James Bond spy and he's the one going through this old abandoned lab where they were testing cocaine on rats. As the player, you're looking through the kid's eyes and he's wearing night vision goggles. I guess he couldn't turn on the lights or something.
