LA Noire
MUrder/mystery
My idea started out as a crime/murder/mystery, like LA Noire but following one of the biggest unsolved murders - The Black Dahlia
My problem though, no one was ever found and I didn't want to create a game where I convicted someone who may or may not have committed the crime
current day murder/mystery
That led me to my next idea, a current day murder mystery following a similar case to that of the Black Dahlia but with fictional characters.
After thinking the idea over and finding flaws and ways to improve upon the idea I came up with my final and current idea.
A crooked mile
Framed for the murder of the mayors daughter, and his fiancée Alexis Gray, Noah Jefferson is exiled and shipped out to one of the states maximum security prisons.
Locked in the SHU (Security Housing Unit), a 6x6 foot cell with only a flimsy mattress and toilet - Noah must find a way to escape and clear his name from public enemy #1 before he falls too far down the rabbit hole that is the states corrupt government.
Multiple Endings
Depending on the choices picked/dialogues chosen characters will react differently and directly/indirectly effect the ending.
For example, the more people you kill the less people will trust you which will result in people avoiding/not opening up to you.
Multiple Dialogue Choices
Want to be a ladies man, tough guy or complete asshat to everybody? You can! with multiple dialogue choices.
stealth or brute force you choose
Each level will present with multiple ways to accomplish your mission. You can go in guns blazing, ninja stealth or a mix of the two.
cusTomisable weapons
Throughout your gameplay you'll be able to pick up weapon parts and piece them together to create unique mad as weapons that can do some serious damage.
HUD/GUI
No maps
Goal/Marker can be toggled on/off
Health/ammo/weapon durability all on one interface
4 levels of difficulty
Story Mode
Normal
Hard
1999
FAT SKINNY its up to you
I needed a way to gain health and I thought in addition to the med packs which realistically not many people are going to have I'd make it so that food can heal you too.
The twist with this though is that the more you eat the fatter the character gets and the harder it will be for them to run long distances.
Adds another element to 1999 mode.
What is the game for?
Few and far between, games that allow you to have input into your character and ending are not released often enough.
The aim of this game is to fill that gap by creating a game rich in both story and gameplay .
who is the game for?
Due to violence/swearing and drugs/alcohol the game will undoubtedly be rated MA 15+ if not higher.
Because of this the game will be targeted towards young adults through to middle aged people. In addition to this, due to the heavy focus on storytelling it will be more appealing to those who want to gain an experience from the game rather than just mindless shooting and killing.
what are they playing on?
I am a firm PC master race believer and hate the concept of exclusives forcing the player to buy another console if they wish to experience the game.
There will be a push for PC as the main platform, however, the game will also be available on both the Xbox One and PlayStation Four.
Only the latest generation of consoles will be included due to their higher polygon count and texture memory etc.
