In episode 1 of the Fantasy Workshop, we’re going to get a behind the scenes look at Warbird Games and the beginning of production on Jack Houston and the Necronauts, a graphic adventure game featuring stop motion animated characters and creatures and miniature model interiors all photographed and pieced together in digital matte paintings, much the way optical effects were put together for classic science fiction films.
The game is set in a hard boiled, 1940’s style world of bubble helmets, rockets and ray guns, with inspiration taken from pulp novel authors like Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E. Howard.
