Studio Brief 2 - Caveman Theme CAN POST

The overall theme that surrounds 'Trumps Whitehouse Race' game will be the theme of cavemen. This theme has been utilised to demonstrate the backwards mindset, views and opinions of Donald Trump. Cavemen were neanderthals who were early modern humans and in today's world caveman are often portrayed at dumb with very basic understanding of the world around them. For me this felt like a perfect opportunity to subtly embed this theme within the game to add to that satire parody of Trump and his supporters. The theme isn't heavily implemented within the games design as I didn't want people to become confused about why Trump was wearing a caveman outfit or why the environment of the game looked as if it wasn't based in America as the game is still located around the time of the presidential race in 2016.


Below you can see a few example of the subtle hint of the caveman theme within the beach level environment.


The Cave acts like the exit tunnel that Donald Trump goes into to complete the level. Obviously caves link back to early human living arrangments.

Donald Trump supports are all dressed as cavemen or imitations of the Flintstones. Any one willing to support Donald Trump is stupid so this representation is very accurate.

Navigation left and right button utilise the theme of Cavemen by using planks of wood. Wood is a basic form of material that cavemen used.

Again using a plank of wood for the start up introduction board to keep with the consistency of the navigation arrows.
