While this game is still very early stages of development I have decided to keep this page up still but will mostly be updating information about the game over at GameJolt. I will post things here and there on here too just not as often. When I have a playable alpha build up I will host it both on IndieDB and GameJolt.
To keep up to date with the game you can follow the progress over here: Pit of Death
Here is some old photos (as I need to upload 2 photos to be able to post) but the origins of where the whole box head/beer thing came from. I forget which is older by this stage but both are from or a year difference between the two (2007-2008).
The Bacon's Beer was an old Viscom project I had to do, I decided to make a beer packaging label. My photoshop skills were pretty rough and the PC's we had at that school were horrid so I had to mix a bit of photoshop and CorelDRAW me make the design, I basically ripped off the colour and kind of layout of Tooheys Extra Dry (an old design these days) but used red instead of green and silver/grey and a much more boring/simple design as I was running out of time and just had to slap something together. Found a font I liked and used a B for Bacon instead of a deer. I then edited one of the bottles designs to look like "mine" and photoshopped it into some old photo of a guy laughing with another guy.
The guy with a box on his head is myself, depending on the date I was either 17 or 18 at the time and because beer was cheap and was a teen that's all what our mates would drink (when a slab could get a few of us smashed) and so I don't remember exactly how it came to, but at one point I had an idea to make it a mask, and a friend did the details on the box (which you can't really see anymore due to the old pixel photo) but from memory i think it had tears or a d*ck drawn on it (could be wrong) but as you can see a big red monobrow.
So that's where the whole "Bacon Beer Box Man" came to when making the model (when I got the idea to attempt to model it for a laugh, before I'd even started on UE). Seeing as the Bacon's beer design was something I made and it was based off the design (loosely) from the actual beer box I use to wear (until it got thrown out, grrr!) which was Tooheys Extra Dry, I mixed the two and that's why you now got this handsome devil....
Thank you
