Earth 2074: Part 1 - The Vertical Cut (Patreon)

Today I'll be posting the first wave of assets included in the "Download Me Experience" for those who buy the ticket, including the .wav files for the first four tracks. I'm also including the free bonus features for "Earth 2074: Part 1" which, if you prefer gumroad's organization, is also available here for free: https://fakenameyfakenamey.gumroad.com/l/2074p1

In the afternoon, I'll also be posting the 10 minute cut of all of Act 1 for those who might enjoy continuous viewing.

Tomorrow I'll be posting the dramatis personae for Act 2, and then Sunday I'll be posting the first song of Act 2, Everything In Its Place.

Earth 2074 Part 1, unsurprisingly, was one of the earliest videos for the project, and I at the time was unsure whether I wanted to try to make the whole thing in vertical or landscape format. To experiment, I made this cut of the first video in vertical format, with all different art.

 Here's some early demo art as well before I fully settled on the "look" of the setting. For a while I was thinking of doing a great infusion of cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic visual imagery, although I ultimately veered more heavily in a cyberpunk direction.

I think this was the first image where I really started to feel like, "okay here is Freedom City"

And here was the last image of the run before I got some initial feedback and eventually shifted to landscape. I still really like the set from this cut of the video though, and hope you enjoy!
