Intial Ideas and Concepts

After several meetings with my team we have come up with some base initial ideas for our game.

Main Base Ideas:

• It will be a Puzzle Platformer.
• Our game will be made with a 2.5D perspective (a side on orthographic camera, with 2 dimensional character movement but with all assets modelled in 3D).
• There will be a controllable companin character that aids you to solve puzzles.
• Each group of levels will be themed independantly.
• Enemies and and puzzles will be themed to correspon with each level.
• In game puzzles will mostly be navigated by your companion.

Base Story Ideas:

• The main character is a game developer.
• The controllable compain is named "The Mechanic".
• He is bug testing his own game and created the "The Mechanic" to aid him while bug testing his game.
• There will be some sort of element of parody, between "The Mechanic" and the main character.
• The game bugs will appear as some sort of enemy.

The ideas for our game and the artist style has been inspired by many different games.
