`X-core`(John Woo Action Game)Story-02(works 2002)

The church stage of X-core provided a new experience to me.
At that time, My art director demanded gothic style church. but I did not have knowledge of that.
so I went Myoung-dong church that is most famous gothic style Building in South Korea on weekend. And I sketched the building inside and outward form while participating a worship.
Because it was difficult to search suitable pictures through a internet at that time.

The outward form of Myoung-dong Church

The inside of Myoung-dong church 

So, I drew the church of X-core like this.

An outward form

As you know, there is not a dome in a gothic style building.
But a design team demanded this.
it was the reason why the inside of dome was a stage`s boss place.

The inside of dome(baptism place)

Alex who was main character of X-core was attacked from a helicopter of outside.
So i had to design the rather unreal form`s building.

This is 3D data image which was made by co-worker at that time.

`X-core`(John Woo Action Game)Story-01(works 2002)

Sometimes regrets remain while developing games. This XBOX project was one of them in my memory.
This game`s title was X-CORE, But members of this project called the title `John Woo Action`. Because this project collaborated with John Woo who was very famous movie director in the world.
I worked for this project as main environment concept and props designer for the first time.
So I was proud of participating in this project.
But in the winter of 2002, my company which was Digital Dream Studio had to close because of financial difficulty.
Therefore, unfortunately, this project was also dropped at that time.

This game system was similar with Devil May Cry by Capcom and Max payne by Remedy Entertainment.
And the time setting of this game was near future.
Dyaf Which is a secret terrorist organization is situated in a movie studio DMS. So in order to defeat Dyaf, Zygot was established by government.
Alex who is a main character of this game is a member of Zygot. He infiltrated into the movie studio DMS in disguise as an actor for examination of Dyaf`s plot.

This gmae starts on ths base story.
This game consist of five places. Movie studio, church, factory district, grounding aircraft and secret laboratory.
But this project was dropped after making three stage(movie studio, church, secret laboratory)

These are images which drew of the movie studio DMS

As you can see, the graphic form of this game is completely different with `Hammer boy` which is my former project.  I had to adapt a new graphic form. At that time, this was a big challenge. But at this time, I think it became my big asset.

This is 3D data image which was made by co-workers at that time.
