Specific Nautical Research

Inspiration for my proposal

So one of my favourite single player games was a pretty big inspiration for this game. Obviously my game will not be 3D but the  actual concept will be similar to the video below.

So the video shows the two characters running along the dock, which is where i got the idea from. However, i have changed it sightly, so instead of chasing the enemy, you are chased by them. And to add more difficulty there will be other enemies as well.

Moodboard

below is a pinterest slider with environment ideas for my game and background.

This is a large slider with around 30 pins attached to it showing many different styles i could use for different effects on players for the game. In addition, helps to show what my results could look like if i use either realistic art or cartoon style based art. These two styles can both be complimentary additions to my game.

Sounds

I wish to use few sounds but i will want to include sounds for the character when it runs, jumps and lands. Moreover, i would like to have a subtle sound of the sea in the background with possible a few seagulls to create a better aroma of a day at the seaside. To create the aroma i have found a video that does the job perfectly, having the sound of the waves crashing and the seagulls making their “choking call” as i have found out it is called.

Obviously i will not need to use the full eight hours and only a minute or so that i think has the perfect sound for the game.

The sounds for the character however i believe i will create myself as i believe it will be easier to do rather that finding one myself.

Mechanics

There will be particular mechanics that i wish to add to my game so that there is more going on in my game for the player to do and concentrate on. obviously i will need to make sure  my character can run back and fourth, jump and possible double jump. I will also need a AI chasing the main character and AI’s patrolling the level to create a better sense of difficulty.

I have found one youtuber who will be perfect for my game, he was done tutorials that i have found very easy to understand so i hope my programming will go smoothly but he has most of the videos i need for the things i do not understand or do not know yet how to do them.

This link directs you to a playlist of videos he has created which contain everything i need to help my create my game concept that i desire.
