This game follows the story of what happens after the John Carpenter 1982 movie adaptation of the John W. Campbell JR Novel "Who Goes There?". The original game borrows heavily on the story from the 2002 video game and the current sequel expands further on the plot after Captain Blake defeats the Thing entity. After the death of Whitley and the destruction of Gen Inc property; Captain J.F.Blake boards a rescue plane and leaves Antarctica. Complications arise and the aircraft malfunctions and crashes. With no report from Blake the Alaska base sends in a new rescue team of which you the player take control. Your task is to find Captain Blake and escort him back to Alaska. However the thing entity did not die with Whitley on that day...
Just an Example of some of the combat windows in the game. As it is getting close to release I feel like visually seeing some completed work will help spark a bit of interest. The Characters Used are Extra/Secret Characters from the games New Story Mode.
This screen shows the most commonly encounter "Large/Medium" Thing Creature in The Thing 2 RPG. What is Known as the 'Clinger Beast'. Between me and Jose there was a lot of different ideas for how we should of had this creature; It was particularly difficult getting a definite design based on the movie creatures. (the Juliet Thing was the closest that I liked) Anyway after some back and forth and reviewing a few ideas from other games/media I really liked the Dead Space Necromorph look and wanted to incorporate something like that with the 2011 Films Juliet Monster. It took a few designs but Jose brilliantly incorporated a creature that was both male and female which could carry itself around as well as appear to cling to objects/people. I think it turned out really nice.
The background in this image is particularly nice, its a typical outpost style setting and I think the placement of the objects in the scene is really well done. Visually I think that the backgrounds and the creatures go together quite well and the different styles play off each other especially as the sketchy style of the background brings the creature into more focus.
October 28th Release :)
