DONTNOD // Adrift (working title) Teaser et concept arts

[Aleksi]

Hi!!
We're finally and proudly beginning the communication about the videogame we're working on at DONTNOD Entertainment : Adrift ( working title).
DONTNOD is the videogame developpment studio I've co-founded 3 years ago.
In this post, some of the first concept arts we can show about the project.
At Dontnod, I'm working with another awesome Art Director, Michel Koch and a team of kick-ass concept artists (Greg, Paul, Gary, Fred). You may know some of their past works from this board or elsewhere. The concept arts below were painted by them. The rest of the studio is killer too. Really glad and proud of working with them.

Our first video teaser :

We -the guys from the team- will post more concepts as soon as we can here.

Our brand new website :

Some facts :
We're currently 70 in the team, thousands of concept arts, we've got all our gameplays implemented and half of the game is now playable. Release date Fall 2012.
We've got tons of stuff to show, so stay tuned.

About the game :
3rd Person Action/Adventure | Release date : Fall 2012 | Platforms : PS3 / Xbox 360

Neo-Paris 2084,

Augmented reality and memory manipulation have taken control of peoples’ lives.

You can now digitize, buy, sell or trade your own personal memories. The last remainders of intimacy have been swept away, in what appears to be a simple extension of the development of social networks and geolocation at the beginning of the 21st century.
The “surveillance society” has been accepted by the citizens themselves, in exchange for a few technological benefits. It is a reality that no one even thinks of challenging anymore.

This memory-based economy gives an immense yet uncontrollable power to a handful of people…

[Dahami]

Fantastic visually immersive environments--they draw the viewer into the scene and make you want to take time to savor the details.

[emrahelmasli]

Oh man, these are superb! Would love to see more Aleksi! Looking really good...

[Carnifex]

such beauty and credibility.

[Aleksi]

Thanks a lot!
We'll post more as soon as we can, following our communication and marketing plans! We've got tons of stuff to show!

[Naked Ninja]

Wow, that is stunning and evocative. And the idea of the game sounds great.

[HULKFish]

Dahami has it right... WOW!

[bhaskarrac]

Superb! Infact no words to comment... they will be too small to praise. Although every concept is gorgeous to look at but I still feel my personal best would be 8th from the start. I love the lights falling on the transparent sheets, really inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

[Aleksi]

As I said, praises go to the artists of the team! Tks

[neuroballistic]

Have I just died and gone to cyberpunk heaven!? I didn't read the post before looking and thought this was for a movie. I will be getting this game when it comes out for sure and spreading the word here at work. The question is, will the game look like the concept art. If so, the game will look fucking amazing!

[c-Row]

Release date Fall 2012.

Oh yes please!

[Stylor]

Congratulations.

This is truly impressive and inspiring.

[terpentcyril]

beautiful concept, very impressive atmosphere .... a great game is coming ! for shure !

Connaissant qq peu ta passion et ton côté perfectionniste Aleksi, je suis sûre que le résultat sera à la hauteur tant par le fond que par la forme ! j'aurais adoré faire partit d'une équipe de concept artists comme celle-ci; je vous souhaite à toi et toute l'équipe de Dontnod un beau succès qui pourrais par la même occasion redonner un coup de fouet aux prods françaises.

If i could marry your art....

[NURO]

Hi,
Nice, Very nice the team
I want to see another art.

[FowlerIllus]

Wow, really beautiful stuff. It has a really cool dystopian, Bladerunner flavor to it. The last image you posted is by far my favorite. It has a few less active areas that let the eye rest. Great sense of scale and atmosphere. I can't wait to play in this world. Thanks for sharing.

[black_fish]

Beautiful execution! A real sense of space, rain, fog, smoke. Very well done. The look is very 1980s cyberpunk. I'm not sure how something so complex looking can translate into a game though, that'll be interesting to see.

One funny thing about the game idea: if everybody buys other people memories you would assume that nobody has original memories at all so after a short while the 'memories market' would just crash down, isn't it?

[Pixeltuner]

Sounds like a mix between Assassins Creed & Deus Ex Sold! The concept-art looks awesomely awesome cyberpunkish.

[slyve]

I am so excited for this Can't wait to see the game after those artworks!
