Outside Looking In

Roof on

Roof off

I thought I’d show today a concept render for the interior of buildings. What we’re thinking at the moment is that the the building’s roof will disappear when the players character enters. Though this like everything else is subject to change, throwing a grenade indoors might be a bit problematic but that's a problem for another day

And a close up of some of the furniture,I think the chair may be a little high for our characters little legs though…..

round and round.....probably should have centered it a bit better

Old School Inspiration

Thought I'd do a post about some of the old classics that have inspired the development of Smith and Winston in its current form

First up, the classic Ikira warriors,  a vertically scrolling, shoot 'em up arcade game developed by SNK, and published in 1986.

Next up.....

Heavy Barrel an overhead run and gun released by Data East in 1987, I spent a lot of money on this one as a kid, trying to collect all the the parts to the eponymous 'Heavy barrel', a futuristic super weapon. 
The only arcade game I've ever completed mainly (ok wholly) due to a broken machine giving out unlimited credits.....

We might even squeeze some Space Harrier style Shenanigans 

There are others including many contemporary twin stick shooters, I'll probably stick a few of them in another post. But these are the ones that really kicked off S&W.

Clicking on the links will take you to the game's respective Wiki pages.

Its a Jungle Out There...

Some more concept renders this time its plants
