The Bamboo Curtain is the title of a game concept I am developing, which focuses on a near-future science fiction scenario. China's deployment of a world-surrounding "shield" of solar panels makes them the largest, and only country for solar power, allowing them to take over the world. The player is a hacker in an underground movement seeking to destroy the solar shield, and thus China's monopoly on solar energy, through cyberspace. Below are four concept screenshots, made with graphics taken from various sites, including http://www.spriters-resource.com/ and http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/ (click the pictures to enlarge them).
