#1. Real-life writer will become a video game character in DAY ONE!
Posted by pendulo-studios on July 18, 2012, 2:34 p.m.
Yes, yes, yes!! The second of our 5 “Look Mum, That’s Me” rewards has been claimed by none other than the wonderful Spanish writer Ramón Cerdà, author of gems like “El príncipe de las moscas”, “El fantasma de los sueños” and “El Encantador de Abejas”.
We’re very happy, not only because of his contribution (thanks!) but also because Ramón’s profile fits like a glove in the universe of Day One. As you know, our main character, Ethan Grant, is a great fan of the book “The Devil’s Dictionary” by Ambrose Bierce… and, do you know who the main character in Ramón Cerdà’s latest novel is? The Devil himself!!!
Alberto, our character designer and modeler, is already hands-on with him and Marcos Silva, the Brazilian winner of another “Look Mum, That’s Me” reward, thanks to the contest that Gamesplanet Lab hosted as part of its pre-launch campaign.
Stay tuned, 'cause soon we’ll see their flesh turned into colorful cartoonish pixels!
