Apple Interactive Concept: Game Ideas 2

Main Character

My current design for the main character is a basic knight called Sir Ivaneth, simple in design due to being within an average medieval style game, before it becomes corrupted.

At first he would not understand what is going on with the world around him and becomes confused easily, until he learns more about the true nature of who he is. (A computer character who depends on the game to live, and by the previous player using him to cheat on the last level, causing the game to become corrupted and destroyed in the process.) His attitude would start to be questioning about the current players motives, and for a period of time start to rebel against the players commands. This would force the player to repeat certain commands till he followed them. After a while he would see that the player is trying to help and become friendly again. His personality would hopefully directly involve the player and make them feel that they are required to influence the game in a positive way.

The items he uses would be customizable, with new weapons and armour available from shops and monster drops. This would affect his combat capabilities, with better swords dealing more damage, or having a special effect on certain monsters. This would be important as there is no leveling mechanisms within the game, so the player would be item dependent.



The Shops

The first shop would be an weapons and armour shop which would sell basic armour such as iron chainmail and steel swords. This would be used to buy items for the first level, with a small amount of starting coins to purchase everything you need. More advanced items would be available for later when the player decides to return to the town.

The second shop would be an apothecary with potions available to restore health, boost damage or health of the player. The player would start with one of each of the basic potions for sale to help them learnt the basics of the game.

A blacksmith would also be available, to repair armour which has been damaged (Caused by being near corruption and corrupted monsters.) There would also be an option to customize your armour, changing colours and icon designs.
