For my group project, I want to make a Flash remake of the Dreamcast game Rez. In this game, the player moves along a set path though a psychedelic, technicolor environment where the object is to move to cursor on to the brightest object (an enemy, missle, etc.) There is a trance soundtrack playing, and every object you hit makes a sound that is synced with the music and builds the song as a rhymic crescendo that progresses throughout the area. One also has the ability to upgrade their form from a simple circle to a body to a buddha to a particle to the final state of a baby. It is a very intense visual and aural experience that I think could translate well into Flash. Also, we wouldn't have to use specifically the original visuals and audio - vector based drawings and the use of a drum program (such as Fruity Loops or Rebirth) could aid in the audio design. I loved this game because it is very simple in how to play - there are only 2 buttons, attack and overdrive - and yet it is both challenging and extremely interesting. I think the creation of this game would really push the boundaries of Flash as an artistic medium that combines both the mass appeal of entertainment and modern art.
