Pitch: The game is And Carry a Big Stick. It’s a 3D third-person shooter game set in the year 1912, branching into alternative history with the tension of fighting an implacable foe to save the free world from robotic domination. The player will take on the role of Theodore Roosevelt, aided by his unnamed saboteur sidekick to thwart the plans of the illegitimate robot regime. The player will struggle against the environment and foe alike using both period-specific and futuristic weapons purloined from the opposition in a fast-paced, level-by-level spree of robotic mayhem to preserve the human race. (Game concept/pitch by Stephen Haines, all art assets by Kevin Smith, with sounds and UI designed by Vance George.)
