DECIMATED : SMALL TOWN

Another environment concept for DECIMATED…
I was asked to design a small town for the game. A whole town!
The brief is that it’s based on one of these small towns that you would find out in the middle of nowhere, perhaps in New Mexico or Nevada. The kind of town that hasn’t moved on much visually from its western roots. So a small Main Street with a tiny grid of streets off of it with a few houses and trailers, and perhaps a water tower.
I set about researching the kind of towns that exist and decided to base my buildings on them.
But, in DECIMATED, time has moved on, the buildings have been modernised, retrofitted (a good old Blade Runner Syd Mead term that!) with cyberpunk facades and paraphernalia. And then the town has gone completely to seed and it’s more or less abandoned. Great for wandering around and having proper shoot em ups!
The first building on Main Street I started with was a Barber Shop. Don’t ask me why, I just did! But it set the style and tone for the rest of the visuals to follow…
