The idea of creating a new part of the game for 'Red Dead Redemption' is one that draws me in, as the artwork can be beautiful and detailed. I will research historic events that could be a possible idea, and if I end up creating something new then that will be where it takes me. First of all, I will do some research into the game, where it is based, when and close areas in this time which aren't featured in the game.
Red Dead Redemption
Based in 1911 in the Western American Frontier (The Wild West), the game follows the story of John Marston and his quest to get his family back. The main areas in the game are:
- West Elizabeth - Features Blackwater in the game, the main area of civilization. This is where the docks are, and where John came in on his boat.
- New Austin - Also known as the Frontier is the largest area of the game, and features areas such as Armadillo.
- Nuevo Paraiso - Mexico, contains a different landscape to the other two, and contains a few areas within.
Ideas
One idea that grabs my attention is looking at the memoirs of Frank. T Hopkins. This legendary endurance rider raced his horse Hidalgo in the 3000 mile long race in Arabia in 1890. This endurance race started in Aden then led its riders along the Persian Gulf, then turned west along the borders of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Syria. An Idea that came to me was that the player could take the boat at Blackwater with a horse and enter the great race. The player would then have a few missions a long the way and complete the mission. This will create a whole new art style and look to an already existing game and give it a whole new area for the player to explore.
