The game will use an exaggerated art style with realistic elements to it, the environments and characters will use bright colours and lighting that make them stand out, also using some photorealistic elements as well.left22560500Xenoblade Chronicles:Xenoblade Chronicles is a JRPG released on the Nintendo Wii. Despite the game’s limitations for graphics, it has a good visual style that I find quite impressive. The shading and bright colours used gives the visuals an artistic quality to the game. I also like how the character portraits have been integrated with the HUD, which changes the characters expressions based on pace of the battle. This is an aspect that I would like to use in my game, it enhances the experience and makes conveys a personal attribute to the battle.left20447000Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate:Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is an Action RPG for the Wii U and 3DS. The visual style for this game is quite impressive. The lighting and shading has a realistic quality to it, and is applied equally to both characters, monsters and the environment, with gives the game a realistic look. The bright colours are also impressive, making the monsters and characters stand out from the environment, but also making them look amazing with the shading.Xenoblade Chronicles X:Xenoblade Chronicles X is a JRPG released on the Wii U. I think the visual style of this game looks amazing. The visual style is photorealistic, with realistic shading and textures. The lighting also gives the game world a shine to it, which also makes the game look as realistic. For my game, I want to use similar lighting to make my environments and characters stand out. I also like how the characters and environments have a ‘shine’ to them due to the lighting.Fire Emblem Awakening:left3488900Fire Emblem Awakening is a tactical RPG released on the 3DS. The visual style is very artistic, and looks as if the game is a painting. The very bright colours and shading make the characters really stand out, but also give them an artistic quality. It also makes the background look like a drawing, which I think is very impressive. For my characters, I would like to use this visual style as inspiration.Gameplay and Mechanics:World Exploration: Camera Angle: Third PersonWorld exploration is roughly the same as other games, the player travels through a massive open world in third person, a few environments will be separated into levels so the world isn’t too massive. Whilst exploring the game world, the player can run and jump, as well as use items and weapons to attack roaming enemies. The player can also fly later in the game once the unlocked the ability to pilot mecha armour. In each environment, there will be hidden areas and secrets to discover, such as hidden powerful enemies and treasure. The player will also be rewarded with items and experience just by simply discovering new landmarks and area, this is key to make the player feel rewarded for exploring. left21590000Combat:During the game, the player must battle other enemies in order to advance through the story. The combat in the game will be fought in real-time action battles where the player controls a team of up to four characters as they work together to defeat the enemy. The player can move around in the game world, where they can move in a 360° environment, the player must feel that they have full control of the battle. The player will be able to perform both button actions and special attacks. During battle, using weak and strong attacks, the player must create combos in order to do extra damage or inflict a status effect of the enemy. The player can also use arts at the cost of focus points, which allow them to perform powerful attacks. The player must switch between characters and use each characters skills to defeat the enemy, while also considering the character’s weaknesses and enemy’s strength and weakness.During battle, each successful attack and timed dodge and guard generates focus points, which can be spent in order to activate special actions. Each character can accumulate a maximum of 100 points in the meter, this can increase depending on a character’s gear and skills. Focus points can also be earned by completing special challenges during battle, such as hitting an enemy’s weak point or breaking their armour.Once enough focus points have been accumulated, the player may activate an art or summon at the cost of focus points. Arts are basically the special moves of the game, for the cost of focus points, characters can perform a special move that can inflict massive amounts of damage and inflict status effects, or generate buffs and inflict debuffs. Each art has a different cost, and the player can pay more focus points to make their attacks more powerful. After an art is used, it will take some time for it to recharge. There is a lot of variety when it comes to arts. Each character has their own individual arts, each character has one core art and eight normal arts. The player must combine and use each characters arts together in order to win the battle.For the cost of 100 focus points, the player can activate focus mode. Their attacks, skills and special actions are powered up to insane levels of power. The player’s character glows with energy and their power, speed and defence is increased. The player can activate every art once in focus mode, and can attack to increase the amount of time they have in focus mode. The player can also use up all their focus mode time to summon their spirit monster to perform a summoning special attack. Once the timer reaches 0, the player will return to normal and have to wait for each art to recharge.Using button attacks consecutively can create combos, the power increase by each successful hit, and ends when the player fails to hit the enemy. If the player can use an art, they can finish the combo with an art for more damage and effects. left1205300Setting:Hero’s Journey is set in the world of Terra, a world broken apart from the eternal battle between light and darkness, where now the remains of the planet have formed into floating islands suspended in air. Eons have passed since then, and the world has evolved. The two great kingdoms of Azoth and Iblis are at war against each other. The world is consumed by their conflict, and divided into two sides.

In the centre of town, there is the elder lamp, which give the people hope at the darkest of times. There’s a busy and bustling market where people sell food and merchandise from all other the world, red, green and orange lamps are scattered above the market place, hung up by long lines of gold ribbon. The village is surrounded by rectangular brown concrete buildings where the people live. Surrounded by a large wall, the District Defence Force protect the village from roaming monsters outside, there headquarters are located in the training grounds, an open area where the soldiers train. Iblis Kingdom:The great kingdom of the east, and the darkest of all the kingdoms. They say that the sun never rises of Iblis, so it’s always night time in the kingdom. The kingdom of Iblis is a corrupt kingdom, ruled by an evil king whose greed and selfishness knows no bounds. He resides up in Iblis castle, where the player must pass its stone walls through to slay the king. Surrounding the castle are the luxury homes where the wealthier people live, below that is where the lower class people live, under the castle itself. The kingdom is fortified by a great wall that extended around the castle that keep all intruders out. Iblis is a kingdom of great darkness.Azoth Kingdom:The great kingdom of the west, Azoth is a floating paradise above the main city itself. It’s also the lightest area in all of Terra, because of its direct view of Terra’s core. The main city consists of tall buildings where the lower classes live, above that is the main castle surrounded by a ring which is the market estate. The castle and estate are both accessible using the teleporters in the city. It’s ruled by the main council and a high prince who is the leader of the military force as well. Despite Azoth being a giant paradise, it’s also well known for the resilient government that control its people too harshly, and thus the city is more like a prison. Our hero must bring the government if he wants to face the high prince.Tree of Life:The place described in myth and legend. The tree of life is the place where the hero and the main villain do their final battle. The tree of life resides in another realm, where countless other heroes have fought valiantly to save the world there. The ground surrounding the tree of life was created by the final class of the two great titans of light and darkness, if seen from above, it shows the symbol of yin and yang, with several smaller symbols drawn by other in the past, some say they are prophecies, others say they were left behind by others that aren’t from this world.

It also allows Kaden to use special powers that aid his team and himself in battle.Skill:Heroic: Allows the wielder of the sword of heroes to use its special powers. It also raises all the hero’s stats.00Age: 18Class: HeroHair Colour: BlondEye Colour: GreenPersonality: Kaden is a strong-hearted and kind person who always helps those who are in trouble.

She uses a magic bow that requires no arrows. It was left to her by her father when he used it. She simply pulls the string of light and an arrow made of energy shoots through her enemies. It’s quite effective. She also wields a spear lance as well, and switches between both during battle.Skill:Healing Touch: Can revive any characters without the need of items.00Age: 18Class: Healer/ArcherHair Colour: BlondEye Colour: AmberPersonality: Olivia is also very cheerful and bright person.

There is a lot of boss villains in the game, so I will name a few villains that are important in the game. I have chosen examples of characters that look similar to what I want my characters to look like.left2143400The High Prince of Azoth, he is a stubborn but kind-hearted man that treats his subjects with respect. However, he has no tolerance for evil-doers in his kingdom, which relates back to the war. He thinks that all who are of Iblis are evil, so he relentlessly fights against those of Iblis.49417861802324993280485200His name is Z-One or Zione, no one knows who he is or where he came from. But our heroes know that he works with the raiders of Kaden’s hometown. He appears to be human, but has had his body replaced by robotic limbs. He insists on defeating the hero and obtaining his powers. It is later revealed that he is Zed from District Seven who died in combat during the raid.-34479323659200-5262111166120An adventurer named Lance who comes from a distant land far from Terra, he is obsessed with destroying the world and rebuilding a new one. He helps our heroes take down the High Prince of Azoth and the King of Iblis, but later our heroes learn of his true intentions, and fight against. Their fight leads to the final battle at the Tree of Life. Music Style:For the style of music for my game, I want the music to convey an epic experience to the player. I want the environmental music to be sound epic for the vast open world environment. I also want the battle music to have a rock and techno genre when the player battles enemies. I have found examples of music from other games that will reference the style of music I want. All these examples can be found on YouTube.-24206720483000Metal Gear Rising has an awesome soundtrack with rock and techno music. It is very close to the style of music I want. 3320894859000Xenoblade Chronicles has a very good soundtrack, it has both epic battle music and environmental music as well, which is what I want for my style.-53880331805100Persona 3 also has a soundtrack I like a lot, it’s very stylized in terms of genre. It has a bit of everything, and that is a quality I want my soundtrack to have, variety.3312472-421700Xenoblade Chronicles X has a very rock and sci-fi based soundtrack, and is also very similar to what I want my music style to be. ................
