This is it, my exam project animation for school! We got nothing but positive reactions!
We plugged in a game controller at the exposition, everyone bought it and thought it was playable, so we succeeded in that :D!

This is a 'fake game' animation: showing the intro, titlescreen and 3 stages of gameplay of what could be a pretty awesome game! It's a 2D sidescroller beat-em up, with many actrobatic fightmoves and 3D rendered environments.

The story is influenced by The Matrix. Humans are controlled as well, but much more visual, actually being monitored and surveillanced by Agents, who are there on the spot, rather then creating an entire digital world to fool them.
The hero is this story is a nameless creation by the system itself, albeit a part of the system which sees the errors of its ways. The sole purpose of this creation is to fight off the Agents and set free the rather imprisoned humans which are turned into worker slaves. Only by sacrificing itself after defeating the Agents can the system be purified.
