Your proposal must include:
1) Game title
2) An overview of the game (what’s the game about?) and an explanation of its overall purpose
(entertainment
only, or to teach, advertise, etc?)
3) Genre of game and target demographic (age range, gender, experience with games, special niche
market?).
Include your anticipated rating.
4) Basic storyline: where does it start, what are the main “story beats;” in what way or ways does it end?
Major
challenges player must overcome Role of player User’s POV (first person? third person? Mixed?)
5) Setting or settings: description of all major locations where the game takes place. Characters: What
character or characters does player control? Is the major player- controlled character a shadowy figure
or a
developed one? If developed, describe personality and appearance (if third person POV is being used).
Does
user create an avatar or avatars? Can player choose character’s skills and attributes and can they
change
during game? If there is a major antagonist, describe this character and this character’s motivation. (In
other
words, what does this character want, and why?)
6) ) Structure: how the game is organized (levels? modules? other?) Do players work through the levels or
other structural units in a linear manner, in a particular sequence, or can player move freely among
them?
Describe each of your major levels (or other structural units) in terms of the setting, the player’s goal,
major
challenges, major opponent(s), and termination conditions.
