individual specialist project #126 - individual specialist project part 09

This is my 7th blogspot post for our individual specialist project
Today (August 18th 2015) I have finalised some moodboards for this strategy game.
Starting with ....

                                                       The target audience moodboard

                                      This is bascially a bunch of images that makes up ...
                                                                 - Lifestyle & interests
                                                                 - Clothing & accessories
                                                                    - Illustration style
                                                                    - colour & texture
                                                                               - Font

Since this game is loosely based on the romance of the three kingdoms

I have decided to keep the asian feel of lifestyle and illustration style throughout the project

The Environment/level moodboards

                                        This is bascially a bunch of images that makes up ...
                                                                 - Architecture/culture/era
                                                                 - Geological features
                                                                    - colour & texture
                                                                    - Camera POV

The culture and place that this game will be located will be in China

Ancient China around 200 BC or so 

Another Environment/level moodboard

                                      This is bascially a bunch of images that makes up ...
                                                                 - Architecture/culture/era
                                                                 - Geological features
                                                                    - colour & texture
                                                                    - Camera POV

As you can see ... 

                                            the game will be a strategy board game for ipad 
            but when the player get into battle with their opponent the gameplay will be turned into
                                                               an arcade fighting style game

Character/game entity moodboard

                                        This is bascially a bunch of images that makes up ...
                                               - reference from the orginal characters (left)
                                                           - character styles of the game
                                                This game is inspired by Dynasty Warriors

and the history of china during the three kingdoms era

Prop/weapon/vehicles moodboard

                                            This is bascially a bunch of images that makes up ...
                                               - reference pic of weapons to be used for game

                                        This is bascially a bunch of images that makes up ...
                                               - reference pic of interface ideas
                                                          (eg. health bars and more)

The moodboards have come to an end 
Here is where I am at for the week

Coming up soon will be 

the concept art of the characters to be involved in the game

Plan for the rest of the day:

- Save some energy for tomorrow set of work

Please look forward to the next Blog post

individual specialist project #125 - individual specialist project part 08

This is my 6th blogspot post for our individual specialist project

Tonight (August 17th 2015) I have decided to scrap my idea of a rpg game 

and thought up of something else instead.

And my new idea will loosely be based on ...

dynasty warriors 

(Romance of the three kingdoms)

and chinese chess

The title of this game is to be called ...

Imperial chess

"To conquer all of Ming in a game of chinese chess"

 

Story

More than 100 years ago in 206 BC, a great war took place (called the warring states) between Sun Wu, Bei Shu and Cao Wei. Just when will the war end? Can the three states bring peace back to Ming once and for all?

Category

Genre

Puzzle / Strategy

Outline

Multiplayer and Single player

The premise of the game is to bring back peace between the three states

Game entities

Non-player characters populate the game

Main goal

Other goals

and learn through their part of their story

and conquer the whole of Ming.
