I, Frankenstein

I, Frankenstein

Games 2012

Synopsis

Modern-day epic. Frankenstein's creature — Adam — has survived to the present day due to a genetic quirk in his creation. Making his way to a dark, gothic metropolis, he finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries-old war between two immortal clans, the Gargoyle Order (protectors of mankind) and the Demons led by Prince Naberius. Pixable Studios' pitch adapted this premise into a mobile game vehicle, with the studio handling 3D modelling, shading, lighting and rendering of the Adam / creature character.

Notizen aus der Produktion

Pixable Studios' work on this project sat at the IP-licensing / pitch stage: the studio negotiated and concluded a mobile-game license with Lakeshore Entertainment and the film publisher, then produced 3D character work (Frankenstein modelling, shading, lighting, rendering) as part of the pitch package. The mobile game was not taken into full production.
