GAMEPLAY FEATURES and DESIGN
DESIGN INTENT
The design of the player gameplay, mechanics and systems has been divided into 2 parts.
The first part is fixed and it’s the Core Design, while the second part is modular and it’s the Specific Module.
The Core Design of the player character comprehends the character view, movement, weapon view, rostering and shooting.
The Core Design is largely founded and inspired by FPS games of the 90’s era.
The Specific Module is a set of different features that is plugged onto the Core Design and comprehends :
- Energy System
- Shield System
- Invisibility System
- Mines
- Weapons Crosshair
- Player Capped Resources Inventory : Med-Kits, Batteries & Mines
- Weapons Ammo & Resources Dropped by Eenemies
- Secondary Weapon Fire on the Slot 1 Weapon
- AI Behaviour
The Specific Module is an experimental iteration of a combination of different features and designs drawn and inspired by a variety of different titles amongst FPS and TPS titles.
The overall design intent of the framework is the experimentation of a blend of designs and features drawn from new and old shooter games.
