Game Concept

Title: Land of Blob

Concept:

A lone blob wakes up confused, without a shred of memory. He must fight to survive and reclaim his identity.

Genre: Action/RPG - As the player you will work your way through a story by completing arcade style levels.

Concept Creation process/area and influences:

I, myself enjoy RPG games and the stories that they can convey to the player. This was that basis of my decision on the genre of the game. My goal is to create a conveying story to immerse the player into a world with rich story and mysteries to uncover. I want to incorporate aspect of many different games which include the top down gameplay of Pokémon, the side on view and gameplay of Mario, even some levels that use a similar gameplay to Flappy Bird but instead of flying I use that same mechanic as an underwater level. 

Audience:

I am wanting to target all audiences. The art style and gameplay is that of a game that can be played and enjoyed by anyone. Players who enjoy a competitive environment will most likely not get a kick out of the game as it is more focused towards the casual gamer. To captivate the widest audience, I have opted to instead of having many levels with the same gameplay, I want to have many different levels with many different gameplay mechanics. One player may enjoy a certain level type and then another player may enjoy a totally different level. With this variety I believe that it will attract the most variety of gamers. My game is in many ways similar to a lot of other games in the same genre. The aspect of my game I’d like to really stand apart from those other game is the compelling storyline.

Land of Blob:

In the Land of Blob you wake up without any memories of who you are or what you were doing before this point. Your goal is to recover your memory through the means of finding memory fragments in the world. Finding memory fragments will enable certain abilities for your blob character which you can use in other levels to unlock more memory fragments. There is a secondary storyline which you must follow to gain all of your memory fragments. In this story, Blobville (The town in which you start the game) is being haunted by a secret villain. This secret villain is turning the Blobs from the village into enemies called the Bloobs. The bloobs are the main enemy type the player will encounter in the game. They will have varying abilities depending on the level of the game.
