Concept
Core Gameplay
The gameplay will consist of several different parts, these include for instance combats with militaries, rebels, police, civilians, aliens etc. Some other parts include car chases and undercover missions.
Environments
Our goal with this game is to create an integrated in- and outdoor environment. The game will mostly be played throughout different interstates with some indoor missions inside diffrent research facilities.
Characters
There are five main character categories in this game; militaries, rebels, police, civilians, aliens and zombies. Each character category might have several subcategories all with their own features.
GamePlay Elements
The most common elements in this game are the vehicles, you should be able to drive almost anything. The main categories of vehicles include cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, ATVs, snowmobiles and so on. Many of these categories will have a few subcategories with their own characteristics.
Technical Description
Graphics
This game will be using the OGRE rendering engine, which enables us to focus on the gameplay and other vital parts instead of developing a new graphics engine. Though we'll strive to include as much eye candy as possible.
AI
We'll probably start from scratch on this part since the AI is very game specific and we tend to make this really outstanding. All AI behavior should be scriptable to allow for the level designers to add the desired behavior in the scenes.
Physics
This mostly include vehicle physics and some other rigid bodies that might appear. Since this can get quite complicated and we just need a sufficient model since it's not really a racing game, we have choosen to use the PhysX physics library.
Tools
We'll be using some 3D modelling tool for designing indoor levels, Leveller for landscapes and for the actual level editing we'll use oFusion.
As you might have noticed, this is just a brief description and not much details are given here since we want to keep most of the information confidential.
