visual research by Walter Latimer, Lee Putney, Manuel Morales.
the game:
user enters a generic house, which is very dirty. object of the game
is to clean the house.
if you're not fast enough, the house gets even dirtier (dust, leakage,
toilet overflowing, etc etc
the game will all be first person perspective, no avatars, just the
hands of the user, holding a vacuum cleaner, mop, rag, hose, high
pressure cleaner, steam cleaner

to start making this game, I want to do research of various kinds.
tasks:
collecting visual references (stills or movie clips)
- video games that have cleaning sequences/interaction
- video games that have a lot of dirty stuff (dust, gore, puke, etc)
- i believe the sims has a lot of cleaning sequences:

if you play the sims regularly, and you can record scenes liek that, great.
- collection of good images of a good range of every day cleaning tools
- examples of film scenes with cleaning
- photos of cleaning
architecture:
different 3D images of homes. I imagine a freestanding house with 2
floors, a generic american small town home.
If you have different examples, great.
shots of different rooms: kitchen, sink, floor, tiles, toilets,
shower, bath, roof,
shots of a clean house and shots of dirty surfaces, all in 3D
this can be premade/prefound, or made by you. if you start on making
images, lets contact regularly to avoid misunderstandings and
unnecessary effort.
