The Creature CSE450 Pitch Simon Tam
Core Ideas • First Person Shooter • Survival Horror themed • One central enemy (the Creature) • Goals: • To kill the creature as quickly as possible • To be the player with the most points at the end • Designed for 2-8 players
The Plot • Military research lab. • Creature created usingbioengineering and occult. • Creature breaks free. • Bounty hunters hiredto kill creature. • Creature has been lured to a toxic environment. • Game begins here.
The Creature • Fast, dangerous, powerful. • Scary! • Near invulnerable. • At first… • Due to toxic environment,its life gradually decreases. • Respawns.
Where's the Fun? • Faster creature is killed, the more bounty received. • Creature stats are scaled to the duration of the game: • Starts off nigh invulnerable, but speed, power, health, armor, decrease as time goes by. • Expected average lifespan to be 2-3 minutes. • Creature lifespan < 2-3 min • Scale the starting stats higher = increased difficulty. • Creature lifespan > 2-3 min • Scale the starting stats lower = decreased difficulty. • The game adjusts creature stats and behavior dynamically, making the game fit to the players’ playing styles. • Game is completely customized for the player.
Target? • Fans of Gears of War, Half-Life series, Halo • Targets largest gaming demographic: • Adults 18-34 • What do they want? • Fast paced action. • Multiplayer fun. • Pick-up and play.
What's Needed • AI Development for the Creature • Models • Players • Creature • Items (weapons, power ups) • Modifying the Environment
Risks? • Biggest risk: • Development of AI. • Game depends solely on the intelligence of the creature AI. • But! There’s only one AI in the game. • Everything else is basically already built into Torque’s FPS tutorial.
Conclusion Join me in this frightfully fantastic game!
