Defending The City - 01 - The Bunker Train


The core play of the Beach Head videogame series has been you, the gunner in a turret fighting off waves of attackers from the land, sea, and air with modern weaponry.  Beach Head 2020 takes the original gameplay concept and brings you into a fictional world created by graphic novelist Pepe Moreno (Read graphic novels RebelGeneration Zero, and War Zone (aka Zeppelin) and you'll get a good idea of the Beach Head world).  Although the core play of Beach Head (that won over millions of fans and spawned several sequels) is still there, the gameplay has now been expanded into several storylines, as well as a fully interactive virtual world.
The following images explore the design process involved in updating the (you-gunner-turret) core gameplay of the original Beach Head game to the science fiction based world of Beach Head 2020, where the player will be defending the Beach Head with multiple futuristic weapons from a turret atop an armored bunker train.

Evolution Of A City - 03 - Buildings & Towers


No small task creating the individual buildings and towers that comprise Beach Head City. The buildings must be architecturally intriguing and must also serve a purpose.  Designers look deep into the philosophy and reason for that buildings existence. Is the building a defensive tower from a previous era, only to be repurposed?  Are these the virtual dwelling units that the players / inhabitants of Beach Head City occupy and interact?  These renderings and models aid in visualising the urban environment of Beach Head city.
