A Hero Is Born

JM here. We did it! One week down, and Semester Games is officially official. We're all super excited to get into crash production mode, but like any game, we've got to start from the beginning.

So today I give you the first concept art turnaround of our first game's leading man, "Johnny," drawn by yours truly. He'll be the playable character in Episode 1, and will be faced with numerous challenges to overcome while trying to find his way home.

He's a pretty typical 20-25 year old guy, going on spring break from college. Bummer for him he ended up on a dangerous, uncharted desert island in the Bermuda Triangle!

I designed him, trying to make a fun, relatable guy who players can get invested in, while keeping him strong and sturdy enough to be believable during his semi-heroic feats.

Coming up next: Girls!
