Project Title	Forestation Decimation

 

Pathway Choice – Rationale

 

I want to go through the technical pathway, this is because I have an interest in developing the functions you see in games, I don’t have an interest in doing artwork.

 

Project Concept

 

OUTLINE

My game will be a turn based PVP, the game will have 2 characters in a team, and 2 different teams, animals Vs humans, the tribal theme comes from the collection of packs of animals coming together to take down the human threat.

The mechanics in my game will use buttons, this is so the player can pick the chosen attack, there will be 4 options to attack with, depending on what character you pick will determine what attacks you are given. The next mechanic will be items, I’ll include items similar to potions, I’ll add: health, buffs and cure, the basics that are usually standard in turn based games.

My target platform will be PC as I will use mouse input, it will be much easier to programme with just mouse, as i have to stick to a deadline and adding controller controls will probably take up too much time.

I will be using only the mouse as the players can share that in a turn based game it’ll be used to chose your attack, this will also mean I can spend more time focusing on the other mechanics.

My characters will be animals and humans, the animal team will be a wolf, bear and an eagle, the human team will consist of a mechanic, a lumberjack and a hunter.

 

IDEAS GENERATION

This mindmap shows the idea I went through with designing my game and what I wanted it to include I made two different Ideas with different genres but I decided I would go with the turn based pvp.

My game will resemble the mechanics in pokemon with it’s combat system, however, my art style will be pixel art.

My game will have turned based PVP and will feature 4 unique attacks for each character. I wanted to add an element of strategy by having the players try to counter their enemies. Each character will be paired up with another player from their team, it’ll be a 2v2 fight that will require a level of skill to know when to use the correct team member.

When the player picks an attack, the selected character will lunge towards the chosen opponent, I won’t make it so you can use both characters at the same time, as I want the game to actually last a while before it ends.
