Tiny Giants introduction

Well, I guess it's safe to show these now. One of my classes this semester is a videogame workshop where art students and computer science students team up and make stuff. We had to come up with a pitch on the first week for a game we'd want to make, but later on we got into groups and things got eliminated, so that's why this is here; my team is probably doing something drastically different from this.

My idea was that a mad scientist had saved the Earth by inventing a shrink ray that scaled giant monsters down to only an inch high. No longer large enough to be a real threat, they basically become the new vermin of the world, scurrying around homes and living off of humanity's leftovers. The game would put you in the "shoes" of one of the monsters and task you with navigating the now-huge human world, avoiding things like mouse traps, vacuums, cats, exterminators. Your end goal would be to make it to the mad doctor's lab and reverse his shrink ray, returning you to giant size. It would've been a sidescroller, either 2D-styled with 3D models or true 2D.

I guess expecting non-kaiju fans to be interested in this was a bit of a stretch, but ah well. I had a lot of fun doodling on this anyway.
