My Game Vision Statement

Car Storm

 My Game:

So as I talked about my game idea last week. The game name is gonna be "Car Storm' and is gonna be a fun game for specifically gamers. In this blog post I will go more in depth to my idea to help you visualise exactly what my game will look like.

Game Genre:

First the game genre. My game genre is actually gonna be; Survival. This may come as a surprise for you because when you think of racing game would think its very easy to survive just drive and don't crash. But no no no no no. This game is very different.

This game is a survival game yes but also as well as that there is action and violence involved. As well as dodging the car storm and other vehicles on the road, you also have to collect and buy weapons to use to kill and eliminate other players, whether they are NPC's or other people online. If you eliminate either type you still get the points and rewards. 

A part of violence in the game is using weapons. The weapons you can use in the game can vary from baseball bats, golf clubs, shovels, hammers, katanas and pipe bomb. These are the weapons you can unlock. But when you first start you will have no weapons, so you will have to use your feet to kick other players and punch with your fists.

As well as weapons being unlocked as rewards or being able to bought, another would be outfit/ skins. These could differ on teams like a halloween pack, a Christmas , a country pack or a custom design you can make yourself.

I got inspiration for this idea from a motorbike racing game called road redemption. Although this game is inspired by road redemption it is inspired by the 2014 version not the 1991 version. I talked more about another blog post: game-idea-research-car-storm.html

Gameplay:

The gameplay of this game will be fast paced. Basically the plot of the game is the player is driving a motorbike. The camera shows a third person view of the player. The aim of this game is to drive quickly or safely to avoid crashing other vehicles, being  squished by a vehicle in the storm or from random explosions. This game doesn't actually have an ending. You just have to get the highest score you possibly can. You are equipped with weapons that are rewarded from challenges and by levelling up. This will be a 3D game because I personally think they look better.As well as that it allows you to add more definition to attributes in the game.

How to play:

This game can be played either with a keyboard or controller. On the key board the controls to move will be the keys "W, S, A, D, 1, 2, 3 and Spacebar". The W, S, A and D keys would be used to drive forward backwards left and write. When you hit the spacebar key that activates nitro, which makes you drives super fast. You only achieve nitro when you get enough points. 1, 2 and 3 are used to switch between weapons. Then when you left click on the mouth it activates the weapon e.g. allows the person to use the weapon- hit the other player with a baseball bat.

Then the next way to play is with your gaming controller. The gaming controller I would use is an Xbox One controller.  The analog sticks will be used to control movement. RB and LB will be used to switch through weapons. RT will be used to activate the weapon. and the LT will be the button used to activate nitro.

Resources Required:

For this game there will be many resources required. I found the resources that I will be using in the Unity asset store. These resources will include things like:

medieval weapons:

fantasy-weapon-free-pack-177958

These will great for my game because these will give me weapons I need like an axe and sword.

Melee weapons:

pbr-melee-weapons-pack-83313

This will be helpful to other weapons I will need like a shovel, hammer and and another axe. 

Motorbike:

brat-74351

This will be a very important asset to the game as the player has to drive a motorbike.

Character:

mobile-character-44722

character-monsters-x-89243

This will give the player a wide range of characters to unlock and gives me editorial control to add and create new characters. 

Cars:

rusty-cars-3437

racing-cars-pack-1-2195

This is essential for my game as I would like a lot of different vehicles. Its also essential because I need to have cars coming from the storm.

Mountains and road:

mountain-race-tracks-110408

I likes this pack because it was a very nice atmosphere, looked nice and it was 3D. It also came with a road preloaded which was so helpful meaning I didn't have to get another pack for the road.

Storm:

rain-maker-2d-and-3d-rain-particle-system-for-unity-34938

I definitely needed this pack as the game is called "Car Storm". Therefore there has to be a storm for the cars to fall from.

A server:

smartfoxserver2x-multiplayer-sdk-17261

This is a very helpful because not only is it a server for multiplayer and co op online game mode. It also allows the server to be an across platform so a load of devices can play the game.

Thank you for reading my blog.
