Here is a short GDD of my game.
Dragon - formally VvsZ
Note: Player character is referred to PC
Story: Will feature either one of two choices:
- An aged vampire named “Power” is sent by the vampire counsel to investigate and stop the zombie outbreak that seems to be getting out of control. No matter what the humans do, new cases seem to pop up like these were acts of terrorism.
Reason for this story: straight-forward gameplay that gives way to gameplay more than story. Much easier to get the story out of the way, and get to the action quicker.
- A human, “supernatural” cop is turned into a vampire by an unknown assailant because of his interference trying to solve the zombie outbreak mystery. Due to the rules, non-humans cannot be “supernatural” cops. He has to uncover who is doing this, why he was turned and stop the apocalypse. New cases pop up all over the world, which seem to be acts of terrorism.
Reason for this story: This is the player and player character learns to become stronger together. New powers are leant for both of them. Also, it builds lore and an universe in a short amount of time. I’m looking for a way to build an universe with minimal dialogue (show, don’t tell) Gameplay is still king.
In either scenario, humans and monsters are desperate to stop the outbreaks before the Earth is lost for all.
Gameplay: FPS with magical powers that are unlocked as player grows in power. Areas will be arena based and non-linear. There will be options to stealth most enemies.
Weapons: Vampire hands (default weapon), guns, melee weapons, magic powers. Guns will have no recoil since PC is a powerful vampire.
Atmosphere: I want a horror game that would scare players, if PC weren’t a f**k-mothering vampire!!
Enemies: Zombies, mutants, ghosts, demons, humans (if they find the player to be a vampire), human familiars (those working with supernatural enemies)
Enemy types in total: targeting 10+.
