Bad Day LA

Bad Day LA - First Look

By American ⋅ April 26, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Gamespot is running a first look of Bad Day LA featuring an interview with me along with screenshots of the game. Bad Day LA is my latest game project currently in development with Enlight in Hong Kong. Now that we’ve made the first announcement expect to see more updates on the project here and through other outlets.

Looks promising American! Hopefully the politically incorrectness
is as funny as it appears to be.

I might actually have to buy a brand-new game now… this just looks too funny. Drawing on the “fear culture” and poking fun at the American addiction to paranoia is just absolutely perfect! Plus, I love the animation style - it reminds me a lot of Mobius and a lot of the old underground comics from the late 80s, early 90s. Very refreshing change!

Looks great, the cartoon style reminds me of something but I can’t put my finger on it.

The “threat level” is a nice touch… though you have it a green, it should NEVER be green otherwise how can they instil fear in us. Heh.

Satire, Irony… Aren’t you going to alienate the American market

Looks great. Even more so with the Kozyndan graphics.

American says the main character is a lot like Dave Chapelle. Does that mean he’ll be black?

Yup! You get to play a black homeless hero. With a fire extinguisher sometimes.
