A Presentation of my Game idea for my 2nd year at Uni.

1. Mars Wars Game Concept by James Taylor

2. Basic Game Idea A Mecha based combat game, designed using motion controls.

4. Responsive Control

6. Thumb stick for aiming and moving camera

7. Buttons for firing, swapping weapons and left and right speed boosts.

8. Swinging the controller (As if punching) will make use of a melee blow.

9. Tilting controls transforms Mech to flight mode

11. 4 Story paths that are separate and interlinked (like Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)

12. Each path has a different overall theme; Comradeship, Betrayal, Redemption and Manipulation

15. Prepare in different ways and still win?

16. Does the environment of the game effect the challenge?

17. Solid rules for the challenge?

18. Can the rules support more types of challenge?

19. Can the player use multiple abilities in the challenge?

20. At high level’s does the player have to use multiple abilities to succeed?

21. Is there skill to use abilities in the game?

22. Are there multiple results for overcoming a challenge?

23. Do advanced players gain less for finishing an easy challenge?

25. You can customize your mecha from the main body and weapons even down to the Generator and FCS (each army will have a different assortment of parts for players to collect) (Like AC)

26. Parts for your Mecha are bought using money acquired on missions, the higher your rank the more parts are open to you from your army’s shop. (like AC)

27. Mecha can transform based on the core of the Machine (different cores are compatible with different parts)

28. Mission Based Gameplay, Mission types vary from destroy all enemies to escort to defend the base and more. Missions can also change mid battle (Like AC)

30. The 4 armies are loosely based on different Gundam forces

31. Story takes elements from MSG, The 08th MS Team and Seed Gundam shows (Drops, certain major battles)

33. Team based

34. Objective based gameplay
