Project Brief:
The project brief I have chosen is to create a game with heavy emphasis on avatar design and customisation, varying from skin colour to hair style. I have always been a fan of making my characters look fancy, as identical as possible, or just plain wacky in the games I play. Whether that’s painting my power armour in Fallout 4 or a robot arm in Halo Reach, customisation is something I hold dear to my heart in videogames.
We have been tasked with making a pitch for our games individually and whichever one is liked the most will become the project for a set amount of people.
Objective:
My Idea:
After a long while of thinking and playing games like No Man’s Sky, Outer Worlds and Fallout 2, I have decided I would like to pitch a 2D isometric RPG game with heavy emphasis on player choice, customisation and ship cosmetics. The game will have a brutal story which teaches the moral that even the closest of allies can betray you and not the strongest fleet of ships or amount of wealth can stop it.
Here are some mindmaps I have drawn up for my pitch.
