~~NOTOC~~ ===== Scratch-Pad: Concept ===== ---- ==== Core Concept ==== I really like the idea of Hunting, gathering, building and farming with the occasional fight with the natives. I don't want a full fledged, first-person-shooter game. The combat is really secondary to the other aspects of the game. Our game is set in a medieval setting with the in-game story being that the character needs a fresh start in life. A "Restart" (Reboot or Reset is a possibility) if you will. The character sets sail for a newly discovered, uninhabited island (perhaps as a stowaway), an true island paradise. The character has very little in the way of provisions and must live off the land in order to survive. ---- ==== Concept 2.0 ==== === A more Modern Twist === The Player is a burnt-out business person, drowning in debt, who is offered a chance to erase all debt and start life over. The player is approached by a mysterious man who offers to payoff all creditors PLUS give them a $10 million dollar payout if they agree to spend 1-year on a deserted island. When the player agrees to the man's terms, they go out to eat at a fine restaurant to celebrate. Unfortunately, shortly after arriving at the restaurant, the player blacks-out. Awaking, the player finds themselves on the shore of a beautiful tropical island..... so it begins. The player learns quickly that to survive, they must forage for food, water and shelter! === The Pitch === The setting is a beautiful tropical island paradise overrun by degenerates. Restart is an open-world game that combines multiple game genres including first person shooter, survival horror, tower defense, and role-playing games. It presents combat, crafting, looting, mining, exploration, and character growth. === Game Play === * The game has a constant ticking clock. Counting down the days from 365. * All is well on the island when the player first arrives (lower levels of game play). * As the player gains a few levels, they start encountering people. People who are trying to kill them! * The man actually recruited many people to the island, all competing for the $10 Million dollar prize. * The other people recruited
