Rising Suns - Shanghai 1937

Rising Suns - Shanghai 1937 An American wartime journalist, Harold Isaacs in Shanghai 1937, taking photos in the battlefield. These photos will decide how the world sees the battle...

1) Concept of the Game:
A first-person camera shooting game. You play as an American wartime journalist in Shanghai 1937, taking photos in the battle field. The photos you took will decide how the world sees the battle.

2) Why create this game? It’s one night during winter break, we are sitting in the dorm and playing games and drank beers late into the night. We had a good time and had many wil

d ideas going on. “Why not create a game based on the true story of battle of China-Japan?” one of us brought up the question while we talked about the history. “That is cool idea!” we should do that. Then we decided to pitch the idea and start working on it to make it real.

3) Where does the game take place? The game takes place in Shanghai, China in 1937, just before the outbreak of Pacific War of WWII. Imperial Japanese Army invaded Shanghai and Chinese Nationalist Army is ready to defend.

8月13日,淞沪抗战重要遗址四行仓库恢复原貌正式对外开放，吸引了众多市民前来参观。修缮后的四行仓库以情景再现、照片等方式，生动反映了78年前那场载入史册的战斗，再现“八百壮士”抗战英勇壮举。1937年8月13日，日本侵略军进攻上海，中国军队在此与日军展开了长达3个月的淞沪会战。四行仓库保卫战发生于1937年10月26日至11月1日，奉命据守负责掩护主力部队撤退的中国守军第88师下属某团中校团副谢晋元带领第1营的“八百壮士”，在四行仓库奋勇杀敌，打退日军10多次疯狂进攻，击毙日军200余名，沉重地打击了日本侵略者的嚣张气焰。中新社发 汤彦俊 摄

Thanks to Beyond Chinatown. The interview has been a deep and pleasant talk about why we choose this history, how we present the history, and what we would like players to discover!

Looking forward to the report!
