Week 1
One Paragraph: Momentum is a fast paced futuristic stealth game with no brakes. you are the star of the worlds biggest racing event until you are framed in a conspiracy to shut down the event, you have to find out who did this and why?
Back Story: The year is 2430 and the earth has continued to expand it's technology and enginuity to a point where the earths O-zone layer has been completely destroyed which lead humanity to create it's own atmosphere using terror formers, the earth's size has doubled due to the amount of building that has taken place. The whole world is covered in skyscrapers and has been split into upper and lower class area's of society, above cloud level is the higher/richer class of people and below the clouds is the slums and lower class people.
The world is obsessed with the main form of entertainment, a race. In the race you can use any form of vehicle to get from A to B in the fastest time possible, your character is the champion of the race with a free-running suit that radically improves the performance of the human body, allowing you to run further and faster, jump further, land harder, and grapling hooks to reach things, out of reach. Also the suit is equiped with a powerful artificial adrenelin that will make you react alot quicker (slows down time like a matrix effect)
You and your wife have been making a very successful living off the race for years, you as the racer and your wife is your publisist and event manager. You are attending a race like any other event with the intension of winning. However when you complete the race in 1st place the finish line explodes and you are accused of being the culprate. Forced into the slums you and your wife are forced to survive and find the one who framed you and why
Fit the genre: My game doesn't really fall neatly into any of todays genre but if i would have to label it, i would go with a 3rd person thriller
What's the USP: The USP of this game is that it's a fresh idea and it's very fast paced, and will use exaggerated free running moves to scale to the highest and lowest points in the game. Finally the combat system will be based on unarmed combat unless you take someone gun(in which case you will have to drop it before trying to make another jump)
Who are the target audience: This game i want to be targeted at 18-60 year olds and for people who like the speed and intensity of a racing game, but want more than to just finish the line in first.
What makes your game fun?:
The unique way of traveling through out the city and differant moves/stunts that can be used while doing so. Buying upgrades for your suit to do more incredible stunts and all the combat is done without holstering a single firearm.
Week 2
Game Structure: My game will have a linear structure in the storyline, but will be free roaming for example you can either follow the story and complete the game or you can visit the slums and pickup contracts for hits or for reposetion of stolen item, which in return will pay you richly and allow you to upgrade your suit, your living space or you can do it for free to get reputation in the slums which will help greatly when fighting the corporations of above the clouds.
Single or Multiplayer: This game will only be available for single player on the campaign as there are no friendly npc's in the game apart from your wife. However there will be a multiplayer mode where you can race other players in the suits around a track/city
Realistic or Abstract?: This game is an abstract game as the world has completely changed and technology which doesnt exist, does in my game
2D or 3D?: This game will have to be made in 3D because of the free roam structure but however you could make a 2D platform version of this game
What platform will it be released on?: I would like this game to be released for Xbox or PC
Perspectives?: My game will be from a 3rd person perspective untill the adreneline shot is administered in which case it will then change to first person
Real world to game world: My game will have a few elements from the real world, for example i will have to upper level of the world ran by police and the lower levels will be just like slums today (corrigated iron huts, dirty streets). Also if you are to jump from too great a height you will die just like in real life.
Goals: The main goal of this game is to find as much evidence as possible to prove yourself innocent and to find out who did this and why? Also there are small milestones in the game where you will have to rescue a hostage that knows too much or your hideout will be exsposed leading to a intense police chase with planes, bikes and of course yourself
Objectives: The objectives in this game will consist of things like, scout out an area without being detected or take a hit for someone in return for a reward aswell as finding places with new tech to upgrade your suit with.
Mechanics: The main mechanic in the game is momentum, there will be a meter on your screen that shows how much momentum you have, if you have no momentum or little then your character won't be able to jump very far where as if the meter is full you will be able to make bigger jumps and do more death defying stunts however if your meter is full your character wont be able to stop dead so you have to find a way of stopping yourself. Another mechanic of the game is the Adreneline boost where you will change into first person mode, time will be slowed and you will be able to set targets on people's bodies, equipement or on ledges you need to reach. Finally the combat style is going to be hand to hand unless you take an enemies gun (in which case you have to drop before free running).
Secrets: In this game i'm going to put in government files which you can collect on differant people that have been framed before, finding them will give achievements and finding them all will unlock a special armor skin to use in the multiplayer mode.
