• In this game in collaboration with SGGA, you play as an Elite mercenary sent from the capital to a City at the far reaches of the Kingdom.

​

• Rumour has it that a Mysterious Plague has turned much of the population Mad. It is your job as the King’s judgement to protect and decide the fate of the City’s inhabitants.

INTRODUCTION

6

• The Game’s action and combat-based stages are inspired from “Reaper”

DESCRIPTION

• The Stages mainly consist of chambers with enemies to slash your way through by swiping your screen to pull off attacks. (Keeping UI buttons to a minimal!)

EARLY GAMEPLAY (ALPHA)

Taken from our game in Alpha stage

From here, we started to integrate the art, the readjustments of the mechanics, movesets, and the implementation of level design.

9

UPDATED GAMEPLAY (MILESTONE)

Taken from our game in Milestone stage

For Milestone, we only went through a live gameplay through Zoom call with the lecturers.

Gameplay-wise, there is not much changes aside from tweaks and adjustments to mechanics, and addition of features such as parallax scrolling to backgrounds, and animations to accompany. We also tweaked some parts of level design.

However, for the art side, there are a couple more changes to the art style, the beginning stages of the rendering of props, and animations of our character, Alessio.

​

Character’s shape becomes more bubbly, lesser sharp edges, more saturation to paint that Alessio’s a good person.

​

Some props rendered, referencing the game Minoria’s painting-like art style.

10

UPDATED GAMEPLAY (BETA-GOLD)

Taken from our game in Beta stage

For Beta, we introduced all the stages in the entire game.

There will be a total of 5 stages in the entire game. Tutorial, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and the Boss Stage.

​

Tutorial and Level 1 will be more linear in terms of level design, while Level 2 and 3 are more metroidvania-style, encouraging exploration.

​

We added more audio to accompany our character in his journey, hoping the player will feel the tension as he journeys through the stages.

Alongside even more rendering of props and props design, there were a couple of changes to UI as well for reiteration of controls if players need a recap, sensitivity of finger swipes.

11

GENRE

• Metroidvania Hack & Slash
• Platforming elements provides the backdrop while the action should be centered around combat.
• The Story’s Narrative should set a dark mood and atmosphere, not to intimidate the Player, but to encourage him to conquer it.

12

UPDATED KEY FEATURES

• With mobile games, we decided to emphasise the use of unique smartphone mechanics such as screen swiping.

​

• The controls/UI display should not feel intrusive, the screen should be kept clean as possible

​

• Satisfying-to-Execute attacks to clear Levels of Enemies

page

13

• The game awards players for being stylish in combat��- This is done with the Scoring System, the higher the player can maintain a combo the higher the score.�- If the player can finish off enemies with a Manual Attack, they get finisher bonus points.

​

• A Rage Meter will increase as Players attack enemies�- This Meter will slowly decrease over time�- The higher the Rage Meter, the more damage the Player deals�- The Meter will also take a hit when the Player is hit by an enemy�- The Higher the Rage Meter, the more damage the Player will be able to deal.

​

​

UPDATED KEY FEATURES

• A Rage Meter will increase as Players attack enemies�- This Meter will slowly decrease over time�- The Meter will also take a hit when the Player is hit by an enemy or projectile�- The Higher the Rage Meter, the more damage the Player will be able to deal.

Taken from Pitch

Taken from Beta

We reintegrated the rage meter from top right from Pitch to the middle-bottom of the screen for the final product.

14

PREVIOUS KEY FEATURES, BUT SCRAPPED

We also originally wanted to integrate a Shop system in every respawn point that our character encounters, but we decided to scrap that as it might make our game more complicated as it is.

Also, narrative options/NPC dialogue that we wanted to include to test the players’ morals were also scrapped because of the same reasons.

CHARACTERS’ PROFILE

The Playable Character

Name: Giovanni

Age: 24

Occupation: Elite Mercenary (Condottieri)

​

Backstory: Born in 1340 and raised in a poor italian family who couldn't sustain themselves later during the black death, he was dragged away, isolated and enlisted as a soldier, leaving his family to die. At the time, he was about 12, starving and barely had any will left. The army sheltered him, gave him food and water, in turn of course to train as a military aide or squire. Eventually, as more time passed on and the black death had finally ended, he pledged to become a mercenary. His loyalties were still with the people who had sheltered him and given him warmth, despite the intense training given to him as a child. In 1364, he was then called by the King, who ordered contracted mercenaries to lead armies as a new plague had arisen in the Genoese Colony of Caffa in Crimea. Considering he had prior combat experience and was a natural fighter, he took off with the incentive of money, as he wanted to improve his livelihood, coming from a poor family. He was then dubbed a condottieri.

​

​

​

The Playable Character

Name: Alessio (Defender/Protector of mankind)

Age: 19

Occupation: Mercenary

​

​

Backstory: � Born to a Family of peasant parents, Alessio was orphaned at a young age as Purgatorio was torn apart by a bloody civil war. He soon found his new family in the arms of the Mercenary Company, the Arditi, that wandered the lands looking for work.��

Enemy 1

• Type: Melee
• Weapon: Sticks

​

Enemy 2

• Type: Ranged

Weapon: Throwing stones/rocks

CHARACTERS’ PROFILE

The weapon needs to be smth reasonable unless its just barehanded attack cause it’s not like they magically generate a weapon

​

how did the peasants get a sword

​

not all might have enough for entire families

​

for ranged i was thinking that they pick up rocks and stones and throw them at the player/slingshot i guess

​

wait ah go to the other slide and check the items

ENEMIES’ PROFILE

Enemy 1

• Type: Melee
• Weapon: Sticks

The enemies were normal peasants who are infected by a disease, turning them into feral beasts.

Without much humanity left, and without a profound cure, they would attack the player without remorse.

​

Enemy 2

• Type: Ranged

Weapon: Throwing stones/rocks

page

32

Boss

• Name: Loris Lirus L-Virus Loris
• Type: hihi i am whistling medieval coffin dance
• Attack: blast it out kaboom

​

​

​

CHARACTERS’ PROFILE

from the words “unstable element” if could be an existing element that was made unstable through a failed experiment which became a catalyst turning that element into a boss which is radioactive and emitting an aura which slowly infects the people there but slow enough not to be noticeable until present time in the game, so that it would not mean that it’s highly contagious so maybe ~2 weeks/1 week to fully infect a person successfully

i guess after killing the citizens only then the boss reveals itself because it feeds off of the infected’s humanity so it might have been angry that their food source has dwindled

wait ah um i was thinking like cause it’s sort of like a radioactive element it has skillsets which involve emission, but who knows since it’s fantasy mayve the element has arms and legs too and since it feeds off of humanity it becomes more human itself

CHARACTERS’ PROFILE

Name: The Plague

​

Type: Boss

​

Attacks:

• Slam

Slams the ground and launches 3 rocks at the Player. If Player stays too close to the boss, all 3 rocks can damage them. If Player stays too far, rocks will eventually land on them.

• Dash

Lunges towards the Player, dealing damage on impact. Can be easy to read at a distance, but hard to react if Player is too close to the Boss.

• Uppercut

Throws a straight projectile at the Player, can be easily deflected.

• After a long civil war, the Kingdom of Purgatorio was united by the Grey King.
• However, his rule was welcomed by rumours of a Border Town succumbing to a disease that turns man into feral beasts.
• A wise but weak ruler, the Grey King could not afford to send his personal retinue out and risk rebellion in the heartlands.
• Thus, he entrusts the task of investigating the plague to the Arditi and a Young Alessio, hoping to prove himself to be a warrior worthy of the Arditi.
• As the Arditi near the docks of Border Town, an almighty storm capsizes his ship. Leaving him to wash ashore alone.
• It seems that the task at hand rests solely on him now.

PROLOGUE

• Narrate the background story to the game and the world and how did it lead to the story in the game.

• Alessio was a mercenary sent by the King to investigate a village after multiple reports of missing people who had been travelling near the areas surrounding it
• As Alessio came closer to the said village, he felt an unusual pressure in his head and went unconscious
• However, a voice in his head called out to him, waking up to find himself inside the said village he was supposed to investigate full of infected villagers
• The Guardian Spirit of the village had been corrupted by an evil spirit called the Plague, and now inhabits in the abandoned castle of Umbra, turning it into its fortress to protect its core
• The environment started to change drastically; trees started withering, river fishes started dying, and the water infected with a virus which caused the villager to go insane.
• The Guardian Spirit, with its last ounce of power, called out to Alessio to shield him from the Plague’s influence.

yeahh can can

​

Alessio, a mercenary, was sent by the King to investigate a village after numerous reports of missing people travelling about the borders. However, falling unconscious and waking up to a disastrous sight in the village was not what he had expected.

​

Alessio continues fighting against the infected under the guidance of the spirit, slashing his way through his foes standing in his way as he tries to figure out the reasoning and the core culprit behind the infected.

Tutorial - Riverside Village

• Giovanni washes ashore, luckily with blade in hand, as he soon finds out that the village is infested with its former inhabitants, turned pale and mad.

An Eccentric Enterprise

• In the Village, Giovanni finds an Old Man selling Potions and Tenure amidst the chaos. The Old Man introduces himself as a Wise Magi that follows and sells to Adventurers before insisting that Giovanni uses his shop as a Checkpoint by pressing the Attack Button. Should Giovanni refuse his service, the Old Man scolds Giovanni for being cocky before making a bet with him - If he doesn’t use his Shops as Checkpoints, he would give Giovanni extra points each time.

Level 1 - Border Town Ruins

• ​

MAIN STORY/CONTEXT

Tutorial & Level 1 - Campaignia, Fishing Village

• He woke up to the voice of the Guardian Spirit, luckily with blade in hand. He then found out about the village infested with its former inhabitants turning mad from the virus. He felt that it’s his job to uncover the truth behind the virus’ upcoming due to the King’s request, hence he decided to hunt down the Plague while defeating the infected villagers after his life.

Level 2 & 3 - Umbra Castle, the Plague’s Fortress

• Discovering a castle looming menacingly in a distance away from the village, Alessio decided to head to the said castle as his next destination. Multiple traps, swinging blades, as well as the appearances of the former, infected villagers who seemed to have unknowingly wandered to this fort, appeared before his eyes as he stepped into the castle. He figured in order to find the core of the Plague’s Fortress, he had to overcome all these trials as if the Plague had calculated his comings.

​

• only save the nobles, citizens fend for themselves

ENDING

• Narrate the ending(s) of your game with reference to the main story.
• If there is more than one ending, separate them into different paragraphs with a headings. e.g. Ending A

1 Final Ending:

• In which you defeat the source of the virus infecting the citizens of the country. A lot of time is required to have the country back in order, and it is essential and needed in order to inflict peace back in the country again.

​

Sub-ending:

• Hitting 0 Health will result in a Game Over, in which you can’t defeat the source of the virus and the whole country ends up in shambles.

1 Final Ending:

​

• Upon defeating the Plague, it laments to Alessio that by defeating him, he was denying the Plague’s purpose of being Humanity’s punishment for all the evil in the world. Without the Plague, humanity will continue to deteriorate and a fate worse than the Plague will befall upon them.
• The Guardian Spirit, upon hearing this, realises that the Plague is a manifestation of his own impatience towards humanity’s faithlessness. Speaking on humanity’s behalf, reasoning that if the Plague can be defeated by Alessio alone, humanity’s willpower must be much stronger than either of them could comprehend. With that power, surely there is no need for the Plague to punish humanity as they themselves have the power capable of changing fates.
• The Plague agrees, but remains skeptical. He warns Alessio that he shall take the Spirit’s word for now, but should Humanity backslide into ruin once again, he will return.
• The Spirit then sends Alessio back to the Kingdom. Upon parting ways, he asks Alessio to continue fighting against evil and to forgive him and humanity for their flaws. He ensured him that as long as humanity sees the good in each and every one of them, they can repent and cherish the lives that they lead.

FEEDBACK FROM BETA

In general,

​

• Difficulty is just about right
• Agreed that mechanics are well-applied and used in the game
• Some controls aren’t really well-responsive, especially swiping down

​

Maybe some suggestions,

​

• Enemies could use more variety, maybe another enemy that punishes lack of movement, etc. Also how enemies could be grouped together and work as a unit, instead of being randomly scattered around the level.
• More gameplay feedback from attacking and killing enemies
• Giving enemies more visual/audio elements, ex. being hurt, attacking, etc
