Escape from Tombstone - Enemy Glossary (X-Block)

So finally, after crashing through the rooftop of B-Block into the Workshops and climbing along to the Helipad, making our way through A-Block's isolation cells and then back into Maintainance we make our way through X-Block proper.

X-Block is an asylum for the criminally insane. But really it's just Senator Conello's testing lab. There is no interest in aiding or curing, merely learning. Patients' delusions and aggressions are encouraged and through sinister experiments valuable research is gathered and sold.

Initially when you take a shortcut through X-Block and the Infirmary you will meet the Psychos. Who's fear-campaign of creepy noises, hit and run tactics and wild madness is quite the shocking jump from the relative normality of A-Block. However before you know it you'd moved onto more important problems.

When you return you make your way through the Psych-Ward where you will face the Sadists who are just all around unpleasant and wield particularly unsavoury weapons.

Once you advance further through the creepy asylum you will encounter the Masochists. These guys don't react to being hurt like you'd expect.

A small squad of Hunters starts to attempt to ambush and capture you on your way to the Boiler room, but Colton is a trained Green Beret and he turns the tables on them. However this leads to the release of famous serial killer Jedediah Sawyer (Boss).

You encounter the horrifying Cannibals and the aftermath of their running wild in X-Block as you enter the Bio-Ward. This is the epicenter of testing and you see the true horror of X-Block. Eventually culminating with your fight against the Cultists who have turned the Dungeon into their own personal place of worship.

Escape from Tombstone - Learning Outcome Matrix (pt.2)

... next I worked on some Bosses as well as Senator Conello.

I also continued to work on the Environmental concepts, although this was taking me longer to complete as I am not as experienced with Environments and I didn't take many progress pictures.

Next I integrated the assets into the Unity project.

Finally we move into August. I cleaned up, fixed and finalised all animations.

As art was becoming more and more finalised I started to do research on and work out my Art Book layouts.

I spent the rest of the month working on this and finalising the Unity build (sadly I can only post one video per Blog).

In summary I did fail to complete certain tasks on my Gantt chart due to deviations and departures. However these are common occurances in Game Development and I think I've done a good job rolling with the punches and experimenting with solutions as well as prioritising in the best interest of the game and project. I am very proud of myself and feel like I have never been more prepared to work in the Game Industry or even see this project to it's conclusion and release as a solo-developer. I have gained confidence from the understanding of my limitations and skills. I will further examine what I have learned in the following Blog.

Compulsory Heterosexuality and Cloud Strife

I’ve been playing through the Final Fantasy Seven Remake mostly blind and having not played the original. While I cannot vouch for the 1997 game, what I’ve noticed about the remake are significant instances of compulsory heterosexuality present in the narrative, mainly at Cloud himself.

A bit of a definition dump, but compulsory heterosexuality, or comphet, is the assumption that heterosexuality is the default and that everyone is straight, or should act that way. It’s heavily tied into gender roles, misogyny, and sexism.

What specifically sparked this post and essay was the tournament arc in Wall Market, where you fight the Killer House. I brought this up with my friend who more of said it was a joke, and it was something that I didn’t expect. However, I don’t read the boss as a joke, but rather as a physical manifestation of compulsory heterosexuality.

Cloud’s and Aerith’s whole deal in the tournament is how they’re a ‘couple’ fighting together, when they’re not actually dating. Neither Cloud nor Aerith protest or try to prove them wrong, likely as a way to get the tournament over with quickly, and to win the hearts of the crowd (think of the Hunger Games with Katniss and Peeta). However, I can read it as an acception of compulsory heterosexuality, even for a bit, as that is what is expected of them. That it’s easier to go along rather than fight it because a man and a woman together HAVE to be a couple, right? Especially because it was made up by the announcers.

The House looks like a stereotypical white picket American house, although it is worn down. It’s also a complete curve ball from the other fights, as both Cloud and Aerith struggle to escape from comphet. It’s just in the form of a house robot. So no, I don’t think it’s a joke, but a metaphor for compulsory heterosexuality. Whether its intended from the source material, I dunno. This is especially significant because it’s Conello in charge of the fight and the House, and is therefore perpetuating comphet through looking for a suitor.

Some other examples of comphet includes how Cloud is shuffled between the other female characters (Jessie, Tifa, Aerith). He’s clearly uncomfortable with romance, and especially Jessie won’t leave him be in the beginning of the game, but he doesn’t fight it because that’s what’s expected of him. I also don’t think the game takes this seriously enough because these female characters won’t give him his space. Even the flashback scene with Cloud’s mother has a focus on him ‘finding the right girl’ when he clearly wasn’t interested then.

This is not a rag on any of these characters, by the way, I just don’t think Jessie was handled the best.

This definitely feels more of a reference to the source material, where casual misogyny was a lot more common and accepted. However, to me at least, it hits different with a queer lens because I do read Cloud as a closeted bisexual man with internalized homophobia/biphobia. So the constant focus on romance in that way feels like it has a narrative purpose, rather than just being how straights™ are with romance in fiction.

TDLR;

Media with two characters that are written into a romantic relationship for Clout when they’re not actually dating as they fight through an arena.

Escape from Tombstone - Senator Conello

While I'd already nailed the design for both of Conello's identities, as the main villain he was such an important character and needed more visual presentation in the book. I sketched out some expressions to convey more personality then worked on designing his wardrobe.

I really wanted his two personas to feel wildly different. I looked into Colour theory and it's associated emotions and used them to give the designs of the personalities different subconscious language.

TRADEPRESS (2022) [Online]. Available at:

You can see that Conello's real look relies on the cold menace of black, extravagance and unpredictability of purple with some yellow hints of 'caution' or a slight tint of red 'aggression' here and there.

Meanwhile Conello's public look reflects optimism & happiness through yellow, power & passion through red, authenticity with it's brown hues. However I've also kept his hues slightly muted, the reds are a little dark, the whites not entirely white and the yellows a little sickly. This is to reflect the deception and disingenuous nature of the character.
