  1. Noon of the Dead A Game Pitch by:Dustin KelleyCIS 488

  2. Story • Jack had the day off, slept in until noon • Looks outside, only to find that the whole town seems to have been transformed into mindless, flesh-eating zombies • In a panic, he grabs his pistol and heads out in search for some answers • Let the chaos begin…

  3. Story (continued) • As the game progresses, Jack will encounter a few people that are still alive • The living will give him bits and pieces of information of what they’ve seen and heard, as well as safe-house locations • Eventually, Jack learns that this madness is not just local – it seems to be happening on a global scale • He takes it upon himself to find answers • Terrorist attack? • A virus that’s been dormant for millions of years? • Something from another world?

  4. Appearance • ¾ overhead view in a 3D world • User interface display • Health meter • Current weapon and its remaining ammo • Current power-up, if any • Mostly outdoor environments

  5. Player Roles and Actions • The player will be immersed into a world of chaos, and at first seems to be the only “living” person left • Enemies may be avoided or killed, but killing them may sometimes yield special power-ups • Designed for fast-paced, arcade-style action • The search for other people and safe-houses will progress the storyline • Making it to a safe-house will progress the player to the next level, each more difficult than the previous

  6. Strategies and Motivations • One main objective: STAY ALIVE! • Constant bombardment of enemies forces the player to always be on the move • Find weapons and power-ups scattered throughout the levels • The player’s default gun will have unlimited ammo, but is less powerful than other weapons that are picked up • Weapons found will have limited ammo • Various power-ups will have different affects on the player and/or enemies when used

  7. Development • Hardware • Actual system requirements have not yet been determined • Software • Microsoft Visual C++ • DirectX Libraries • Possibly Torque engine

  8. Algorithm Style • Will likely follow LaMothe’s styles as taught in the course textbook • 3D rendering, clipping, depth buffering, lighting, etc. • Enemies and power-ups will be randomly and continuously generated throughout each level for unpredictable, non-stop action • When the player gets within viewing range of an enemy, it will move in for attack and keep following if avoided

  9. Summary • Fast-paced, frantic, chaotic • Give the player a sense of panic as they try to stay alive • Action-oriented • Focus on arcade-like game play
