and so to the task at hand

So now that I'm getting over being rudely interrupted by my own clumsy trip down the stairs walk down the street. I best get on with finding my inspiration for the game proposal.

When I first heard of what we had to do I knew straight away that the setting I wanted would have to be place I know the best - The fascinating streets of Manchester city centre.

I've lived here, in the city, for years and have not only have I been inspired by the amazing and ever changing architecture but also of the some of the incredible art that crops up when you least expect it. I've found a blog that conveys some of the amazing artwork around the city, which I've already signed up to and there is also another site that a good friend of mine has been putting together for while. Both can be found as links at the bottom of this post.

As for the concept, I've thought of using (controversially) the recent riots that took place here although I've not yet decided whether to take the moral low (or high) ground as to whether you're the the law enforcement or the rioters themselves, kind of GTA styli. Maybe, as the gamer, you have to make that choice yourself ???
