The Concept
For my game, I decided to go for a Star Wars theme, building on the process of Anakin Skywalker becoming Darth Vader. The concept of a game is an interactive choice-making game; you have to try to help Anakin not turn to the dark side by making certain choices. Depending on the choices you make, Anakin will either remain a Jedi or turn to the Dark Side.
The Design
The game’s color palette is going to consist of red, orange, brown, and black. It’s mostly going to be geometric with minimal curves. The game will start with a start page with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi on the screen with a Mustafar background. Once the user clicks the start button, an instruction block should pop up with instructions on the game and explaining the elements of choice and consequence. Users cannot control the motion of the characters, only their choices.
There will be music in the background from the Star Wars franchise. As for the code’s design, the game will rely on Object Oriented Programming for the characters’ design, relationships, dialogue, and the choice boxes. I will also be relying on several if statements and nested loops since the story is a very condition-based game.
What I Am Afraid Of:
My biggest concern/fear is connecting certain choices with particular events and consequences going wrong. I fear the code doesn’t run properly, the choices don’t connect, and I am left with an inconsistent story and a game that doesn’t make sense. To manage this, I’m going to work on the different parts seperately, and organize certain elements into classes to avoid complexity of the code. I will have to make explicit comments on the code to make everything organized so no mistakes happen or confusion within the events and consequences.
