Visceral Engineer Makes Dead Space 2 Trailer In Minecraft
Michael Noonan, gameplay engineer at Visceral Games, put together this trailer using Minecraft to celebrate the release of Dead Space 2.
"The whole environment and shot set up I've done myself, though the actual scale of the marker is closer to the one in DS2," Noonan told Kotaku. "I genned a couple worlds until I found a big mountain to put the marker inside, fortunately it was naturally hollow to begin with, I only needed to blow up a floor a bit."
"I didn't want to copy any Dead Space trailers, most of them show off the monsters which I just can't do in MineCraft, but it was definitely inspired by the 'Twinkle Twinkle' and 'Ring Around the Rosie' trailers," he continued. "I'm not really good at audio stuff, so I spent a couple hours looking for a creepy a lullaby until I found that Silent Night music box melody that just seemed to fit the theme perfectly."
