Game Concept

Overview

• Working title: Dodge this
• Concept statement

The game is based on a 2D environment. In the game, the player needs to control the character to avoid incoming monsters and unlock weapons to beat the final boss. The challenge part of the game is to avoid the massive monster and it relies on the reaction time of the player, and the player health is restricted as 1 only, it means once the player touches the monster, the game will be restarted.

• Genre

The genre is adventure and because in the game the player is going to encounter many risks, and in order to win the game the player needs to overcome these risks.

• Concept development process

The game concept is from multiple reference source such as The Legend of Zelda series, and NS-Shaft. And it was used subtractive design thinking to minimize the game as a simple draft and then feel what can be add on it, try to be creative, and the game concept is eventually become a mix of two games. Initially, I do not wish this game to be very complex because I work individually the game concept has to be practical to have the work amount for one person. 

• Audience

The audience would most likely be teenagers either male or female.  Because in general,  people in old age are not willing to play the adventure game, since the adventure game has a relatively "rapid rhythm".  The game would potentially be a favorite game to the gamers who love intense feeling, because this game, monsters are everywhere, a small mistake could fail the game, and it is design for player of video games for training purpose, as it will train the players reaction and skill in the game.

Game Treatment

The seven weapons was a divine weapon which was fall from heaven, once you collect the seven weapons, they will be united as one. Your mission is to use the weapon to kill the devil and rescue the princess.
