Story Plot and more drawings

The film plot

Forbidden planet starts off with the crew of a small space cruiser that are sent to investigate the disappearance of another ship which were on an unknown planet. The crew lands and are greeted by a robot called Robby who takes them back to his creator, Morbius. Morbius explains that the rest of his crew were wiped out by an unknown creature and he also shows them around his home which contains alien technology which possesses the power to bring any thoughts to reality. The crew are attacked multiple times by the creature throughout the film and it is later revealed that the creature is in fact an object of Morbius' imagination as a result of him using the alien device.

The game plot

The game's plot follows similarly to that of the film but the characters will be updated and the role of Morbius will be replaced with Robby as he will guide the crew through the remains of the lost civilization. The villain in the plot would be a final survivor of the alien race who has the ability to create things with his imagination. Due to this ability their technology is pretty much perfect. The player can customise their soldier and they can be either male or female.who is a member of the second ship sent to investigate the disappearance of the first ship. At the end of the game in the final battle the player has to use a type of counter device to prevent the villain's ability to create objects at will.

The game will be a third person action adventure game that would feature some platforming and slight exploration elements. The game would have some rpg elements such as upgrading weapons and armor which will help them when fighting enemies. The enemies in the game are mostly hybrids of organic and mechanic materials created by the surviving alien in an attempt to revive his people.




This image was an initial design for the device, it was going to be a seat that the creature would sit in and the helmet would cover his head. I later decided to have the helmet as an actual object the villain could wear all the time.
