Original Concept

The first few weeks of the semester were used to discuss ideas with other students and hear about the ideas people have created for their final projects. I didn’t really know any of the other students as I’d gone straight into final year instead of taking the placement year meaning I was with mostly different people. I was originally interested in a 2D project about an animated music video, however, the job areas I’m looking into for the future are mostly 3D ones, so I knew I had to find another group more suited to developing those skills. I eventually ended up talking to Chloe and Megan, about Chloe’s idea ‘Dimension Portal’, the initial concept seemed interesting and was in 3D so I spoke to this group in more detail.

The simple summary of Chloe’s original idea;

A courtroom trial within a secret organisation, where a rabbit detective is on trial for misdemeanour and generally breaking most of the rules when dealing with an artefact they had recovered, ending up in another dimension and causing chaos. Her lawyer was a grumpy cat who is one day away from retirement.

Initial storyline idea inspiration was taken from ‘Ace Attorney’, as we wanted to create a kind of comedic court case storyline where the plot is unravelled and explained through the case.
