Obstacles and Rewards

In my game, the main character is presented as the Red Shoes. They need to avoid obstacles- poops. They either can jump over obstacles or destroy them with a weapon. To get a weapon player needs to collect coins and after collecting the coins the reward is the fly-flap which I picked from my three weapons because I think it fits well into the plot. And from the obstacles, I chose two designs to convey the action. After the poop is destroyed by the fly-flap it changes the shape.

Platforms and Scenary

My game will be a platform game where the player has to move shoes to collect coins and avoid poops (obstacle). The setting is in the street and the bricks on the wall represent a platform where the shoes can jump. A window has just a decorative purpose right now but an advanced level can be used as an obstacle.

Genre

The game I chose today is called The Wolf Among Us made by Telltale Games and was released in 2013. The game itself conveys many genres including detective, mystery, thriller, etc. The Wolf Among Us is a graphic adventure game so the narrative plays the main role here. The big B wolf has to investigate series of murders and catch a killer.

  1. Crime-thriller – because the story is about the investigation we could consider the game as a crime thriller genre. The atmosphere is dark and twisty. The neon colours give some aesthetic effect to the setting.

2. Magical realism – The story takes place in Fabletown. A neighborhood in New York City where all characters from folk tales leave. So the location is real because the events are happening in a real city but we see characters like Beuty and the beast, talking frog and etc.

3.graphic adventure game – The main line of the story is to solve a mystery and find a murderer. For every detective, it’s essential to investigate the environment. To do that a player is asked to move the cursor over the screen to find “hotspots”. By exploration and collecting clues and pieces of evidence, the story advances and Bigby is getting close to the right answers.

Character Design

For my character I made few sketches of shoes with different designs. For this assignment I picked the red shoes because I think stand out from rest of the shoes and they are so fancy that they have some ‘identity’. In Piskel I also added eyes and mouth.

Monument Valley: Goals, Obstacles, Rewards

The game I chose is Monument Valley made by Ustwo Games in 2014. The main character’s goal is to collect different geometric objects.

Obstacles are crow people and the puzzles that need to be solved. I can’t specify rewards because in game there is no such thing I just can say that only reward is when you solve puzzles hidden paths show up and Ida can continue her journey and move up to the next level.
