SACRIFICE IN PARADISE is a frantic foot race between two-to-four players through a multi-tiered track that ends when the players hurl themselves into the AHI'LUNA volcano. The players must successfully navigate through the increasingly hostile world of environmental hazards and ritualistic obstacles. They push each other aside and touching seven altars along the way as they gain DIVINE FAVOR points from the volcano god ("STEVE", in the vernacular tongue). After all racers reach the volcano and commit the ultimate sacrifice, STEVE evaluates the amount of Divine Favor that each racer collected and declares a winner.
To successfully journey to AHI'LUNA, players are given enchanted Ancient Masks that bestow magical powers on the players. Each mask features its own unique ability such as running faster, dropping spike traps, stunning an opponent with a ball of fire, and raising a temporary protective shield. Players may switch between masks at their discretion in order to adapt to the challenge or play-style at hand.
In addition to the treacherous environment, STEVE has another trick up his sleeve: he possesses a KUULU KUULU ("ULUUK", in the native tongue) and drives the corrupted racer to chase the others head-on. If the player controlling this corrupted racer successfully tags another player, he passes on STEVE's corruption to the next victim. The other racers must avoid becoming the ULUUK, who can't earn DIVINE FAVOR points or finish the race.

Well the team has successfully completed the prototype phase and it looks like we're set to start production next week. The game is just grand, a bit difficult at some points, but seriously fun. A few minor gameplay and map tweaks will be necessary, but everything is looking solid.
We are set to begin production after we take a little break for a week. We'll start posting up some assets as they are created. We wanted to show a few shots of the prototype work, but it's prototype and wouldn't really show the best of the game. So instead, another round of concept art all done by Grace Liu. We will post up a few more models later on, until then enjoy this round of concepts and we'll see you when we've got a few more items to post up.
