3 Game concepts

From the result of the DD3000 report based on the advancement in technology during the First World War. I came came up with 5 initial ideas for game concept and choose the 3 strongest ideas ideas and developed them into 3 concept documents, two pages in length.

Original concept documents.

Concept 1
Is called Evolution of Warfare. The game is a real time Strategy game, where the player will command units, constructed bases and there defenses as well as gathering resources.  The game will take place throughout history; start with Non Fiction tech of World War One and ending with a fictional futuristic look on what might be to come. The game will also have a living environment where things like tree grow back once chopped down.   

Concept 2

Is called Dystopian Racer andis a Massive multiplayer online racing game with vehicle combat, where the player creates their own unique vehicle to fight against each other? Player will able to customize their vehicles to their play style. The game in set after a global war where all government collapsed and individuals fight over territory.  


Concept 3

War of logistics or WoL this game focused on micromanagement the player will set up trade routes to the front lines of WW1 and have to send appropriate supple to where they are needed.  


Update 1: The original concept document were to long and need cutting down. The content needed to refine and supporting images needed to be added. To create a visually rich format. To achieve this I recreated the 3 concept document again in PhotoShop rather than using Microsoft word.

Concept 1






Concept 2













Concept 3




























After pitching the game ideas to my peers, and gaining feedback on the layout and games ideas. I have chosen to go with concept 1. I choose this game ideas because it best fit the findings for the DD3000 report as well as getting the best response from my peers as the better game ideas, out of the 3 I pitched.

Update 2: After presenting the more refined PhotoShop version of my game concept 1, I was give the value feedback on how to improve it though. For feedback I was advised to make more use out of the image I had used and created, by link the image up with short line of text explain elements of the image, instead of using a large paragraph to explain everything.

Improved Concept 1
For my final game concept for the GDD I my going to combine elements of concept 2 with concept 1. the feature i my going to use for concept 2, is the ability to create units for a selection of characteristic letter the player choose what type of unit they want and need.
