Buster’s Break Out

Logline: Break through sludge slabs and soak up the light as Buster, the little demon that wants to be more holy than hellion! But beware… will the slabs release light orbs or mini-mines? Can Buster break out and reach the heavenly realms?

AUDIENCE: Rated E (ages 5+)

FORMAT: Game

GENRE/SUBGENRE: Arcade, Casual (Hybridcasual Model) – Pinball/Bricks Breaker

STATUS: In Production on Demo

BACKSTORY: Buster has tried to be good. But he can’t seem to stave off the sludge that keeps him trapped in hell. Just as he’s about to blow his top, a single beam of light bursts through the blocks. Buster cowers at first. But
then, slowly, reaches up. A LIGHT ORB hurtles into his open claw and BOOM!

The light orb barrels into the sludge, knocking it to pieces. Buster
immediately transforms, only a little at first. His snake eyes round out, and
suddenly he can see it— the heavenly realm he’s longed for! Here’s his
chance to BREAKOUT!

CORE NARRATIVE LOOP:

  • Intro: Cinematic introduces Buster, the sludge slabs keeping him in Hell, and the gift of the LIGHT ORB that can break bricks.
  • Core gameplay: Bounce the light orb and break through bricks to transform Buster and level him realms by catching more light orbs, catching/avoiding spiky mines, or avoiding dark mines.
  • See progress/world changed: Buster reacts to the play (taunting, raging, cheering, etc. all at the player!) and slowly transforms when he absorbs light orbs. Climbing out of hell becomes a visual journey as the interface becomes less hell-ish and more heavenly.

Eber and Leiber, twins from the tribe of Manasseh, their mom, new dad/uncle, and little sister are just trying to live their lives, but then this guy named Moses comes along and stirs up Pharaoh. Suddenly, they’re out in the wilderness trying to figure out what tomorrow will bring, and still having to deal with the daily grind. But this whole trek can’t last forever… right?

FORMAT: Feature Film

GENRE: Live Action, Mockumentary

STATUS: In Development (script/short)

SUMMARY: The zombie apocalypse was kind of a non-event… but all the bureaucracy was put in place quickly. So when Alec Lutz returns from the dead, the government wheels start turning pretty quickly. And one cog isn’t happy about it: Brock MacNamara. While Alec tries to get back into the groove with life, love, and happiness, Brock shows up to squash any dreams of normalcy Alec may have and insists the popular brand manager head straight to the Pit, the government zombie “reserve” built to appease zombie rights protection activists. Alec and documentarian Cousin Frank (looking for his first big break!) strike out to prove Alec is “alive” –whatever that means– before everything falls apart… including Alec!
