Directions for the Game:
- Kinds of Fun (for all ideas):
- Discovery: exploration of the game as a 2d side scroller vertically
- Fellowship: with two characters inside the game
- Narrative: discovering the past as you climb upwards
- Challenge: platforming (low challenge)
- Narrative ideas:
- Overarching themes: small individual in a large world, searching for the sky/stars
- Idea #1: Adult trapped in an office that is far too big for him, platforming upwards through an office setting to try to reach the sky (freedom)
- Idea #2: Child trapped in a dirty city (ie: like Shanghai); platforming upwards through city buildings while trying to see the stars for the first time.
- Paper airplanes/mechanical birds/etc aid him on the way, but he slowly becomes increasingly out of breath/tired as he continues his journey upwards
- End is dictated by his actions; the birds which came with him on the way up either abandon him for the stars (bad end) or push him upwards into the sky (good end)
- The stars could also be an illusion (water above them, reflection of the city below).
- Idea #3: Cute platformer upwards where the main character’s parent is a seasoned sky traveler, and she wants to find/reunite with her parent in the sky
