Cliff Bleszinski Shares Concept Art of Cancelled Boss Key Projects
Recently, we received the sad news that Cliff Bleszinski would close Boss Key Productions, the studio responsible for LawBreakers and Radical Heights. As in many cases, CliffyB had some concepts or projects that never saw the light and now from his Twitter account, he has started to share the games that could have arrived.
The first game concept he decided to show was the one called “Dragonflies”, in which we would be ninjas or samurai and we would be mounted on a dragon looking for and killing zombies and enemies that cross our path. We would have battles in the field and in the air thanks to our dragon, where we would team up with other players to survive, we could obtain some eggs that would allow us to raise other dragons and we could have even selected other characters.
Here’s one of the games I wanted to do codenamed “DragonFlies.”
Basically you were ninja/samurai in airships riding dragons fighting zombies with friends in a PVE “feudalpunk” setting on floating islands. (the airships = your “aircraft carriers”, the dragons = your “planes”) pic.twitter.com/yX2ivPwezb

More art. You used melee and guns and could outfit your beasts for combat. Basically do for dragon riding what Halo did for vehicles. pic.twitter.com/NhVJP2f1xW

Oh and yes, you’d find dragon eggs, hatch them, and raise them. pic.twitter.com/73XAPBjHzK

Among other games he had in planning is the one named “Rover”, which was designed for VR, where we would have 5v5 fighting in some animal-looking robots (which remind us of Zoids). Some would be responsible for piloting the robot, others would repair it, others would go out to sabotage the enemy’s machine. It did not sound bad at all.
Here’s another one, initially planned for VR, codenamed “Rover” but was shaping up to be “DogWalkers” – DOG stood for Destructive Ordnance (on the) Ground.

He also had prepared another that would have been the spiritual sequel to Toobin, but this would be with animals in Mario Kart style competitions, it was going to be called “Donuts”.
Here’s the silly/fun one – basically a VR spiritual sequel to Toobin, only everyone are animals – and a way to fight Seasonal Affection Disorder. (Mario Kart on water with animals in VR.)
