Introduction

Adalaya Dreams is a Religion based Role playing game depicting the final days before the Armageddon. Gameplay involves the player to embark on a journey set in the world of purgatory, in which the player takes part in quests and activities in order to progress throughout the story.

3.1 – Intro Story

In the year 2010, a young boy named Tristan Page and his best friend Nickolas Deltre are studying to become priests at the Dolkien Monastery in Paris, France. During the week of their final test Nickolas becomes deathly ill and cannot proceed with the training. Tristan is told that outside of his regularly scheduled studies, he will be taught a sacred ritual that will guide him to his priesthood.

During the ritual Tristan finds himself standing before his sick friend repeating scripture as the high priest’s recite it to him. Moments into the ritual Nickolas opens his eyes wide as his body begins to rise, he speaks directly at Tristan in a vicious manor “Tristan Paige... You will be judged”! Instantly both Nickolas and Tristan’s bodies fall limp to the ground as the priest’s run to their assistance, only to find both boys in a coma and near death.

3.2 – Summary

Tristan awakens to find himself in the world of Adalaya, a place where fantasy meets reality and magic is an essential survival tool. During his journey Tristan is dubbed “Sorene, the Soul Eater” and is sent to find a material known only as the Kaeliq. While travelling Tristan meets a number of faces along the way, from allies to aid in his journey to the many enemies that propose as an obstacle in his path.

As the story unfolds Tristan must understand that the things in which he has known to be true are in all actuality lies, and that he must believe in his self in order to save a world that he will destroy. Through the evanescence of his past, and the pain of self realization, Tristan finds himself to be a murderer, a priest, a jury, a lover, a friend, a demon and a God.

The aesthetic backgrounds within the world of Adalaya portray a visual deceit in which the movement manipulates the images from within the distant view. In relevance to how the drug Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) affects the way the user perceives images.

The background design during gameplay will demonstrate variations of radiant colours, objects and surfaces appearing to ripple or "breathe," a sense of time distorting (time seems to be stretching, repeating itself, changing speed or stopping)as well crawling geometric patterns overlaying walls and other objects in or to perceive the world as if in a dream sequence.

Adalaya Dreams is a game filled with extraordinary characters from our main hero Sorene to the villains in which our hero must face. During the creation of each character there are steps to be taken. From the idea of the character, the clothing, style and weapons in which the character equips.

Below is a timeline example of the creation of Pesmerga, the female character sent to assassinate Sorene and later becomes his love interest. As you can see in the first sketch the character had a sword, yet as we progress into the colouring stage the sword is removed for future modifications.

History

6.1 – Background Story

The history of Adalaya takes place as the war in heaven came to an end. As God casts Lucifer out of Heaven to the fires of Hell, a watcher angel named Adalaya helps guide Gabriel to Earth in order to help teach humanity about Heaven and Hell.

Upon returning to Heaven Adalaya wishes to speak with God about the things she has witnessed. She told God that she felt as if she should have told him prior to Lucifer’s attack on God, for she stood witness to everything that had happened.

God told her that she was a watcher and that her place as a watcher was to observe what goes on, he told her she was just doing what she was supposed to do and everything had happened as he knew it would. Adalaya then asked God why she did not understand what she was feeling and why does she have feelings of guilt for not telling him if guilt is a mortal feeling and not angelic?

In response God told her that when he created Angels, he entrusted each angel with the same feelings as he did with mortals. While he gave mortals the gift of free will he gave all Angelic beings a job in heaven and that is why the Angels are not commonly affected by these feelings. Because they are not subject to free will and if any Angel were to experience these feelings then they have allowed their soul to compel free will and in doing so becoming mortal.

Adalaya gasped as if she had done something wrong as God reached for her hand. God told her that she is no longer one of his Seraphim but now she has a new task upon her. He told her that this is what he had planned for her all along. He spoke of a world where the souls of the departed shall be given a second chance before judgment and that he knew when he created her she would be the one to guide this world for the growth of Heaven.

God then told her that there will always be obstacles to overcome in this world for this is where the souls from the mortal world come to choose their fate. He told her that she will no longer be welcome as one of his Seraphim but she has a greater purpose now as the caretaker of this world.

Moments later Adalaya stood atop a tower watching as the image of her creator slowly vanished to the distant sky. As she stared out upon this new world, she knew that she was where she belonged.

6.2 – Game World

The world within Adalaya Dreams is designed to feel as if the player were experiencing a dream sequence. Depending on what area of the world the player is in and what elements depict this part of the game, the scenery changes from light to dark and from colour to grey in order to allow the player to feel that they are actually dreaming.

The concept of the game is set around purgatory, in which tells the story of the main character Sorene and his experiences between the land of the living and realm of the dead. In the essence of the story, the elements used in designing the world were horror, fantasy and science fiction. With these factors at hand, the world changes within each area in which the player explores. From the tribal Askari Village to the Charon’s black fiery River of Styx, the world of Adalaya is a vast and rich experience for the player to enjoy throughout the game.

Mechanics

8.1 – Physics

The physics within the game are designed to allow the player to interact with the elements within world as if not just playing the game but allowing the player to have some freedom away from the direct sequence of the game.

From a compelling environment where the trees may reach out and grab the character and say hello to watching a sunset because it is the end of the day within the game. These unique elements help create the feel that the world is alive.

Adalaya Dreams will have the commonly known elements most games on the market have today, such as areas that can be damaged, destroyed and even reconstructed. There will be modes of transportation as in mounts, vehicles, running and even teleporting to give the game an all around complete feel for an enjoyable experience.

Adalaya Dreams will also have an element called “Time Warp”. As the player explores certain locations and times periods throughout the game, he may come across a portal in which warps the time within the game and transports the player to any time or location. Once transported, the player may choose to stay in this time period or location but if the player has not been there prior, it would be wise decision to not proceed on.

8.2 – Statistics

Throughout the game the characters in which the player controls a well as the non playable characters in which the player interacts with, will have stats in which will increase and decrease with each level the characters gain.

Each character will have a fixed stat system in which will represent their overall growth. These stats are labelled as follows: Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution and Charisma

As the player progresses each of the basic stats, new stats will be obtained depending on what class, what weapons and what skills the character is proficient. These stat changes can also affect how the character’s combat, movement and social interaction within the game plays out.

Overall each character’s stats will continue to change throughout the game with every action that the player takes part in.

Design Document Page 16

8.3 – Combat

Combat within the game is based on the Cobalt Combat System or CCS. The system is a strategy based operation designed around combat oriented actions in which character data and statistics are determined through the players dice roll in order to produce a victor. Below is the prototype demonstration for the basic combat system within the Adalaya Dreams Game. Please remember with of the player’s dice rolls, the game engine will complete these actions with as the player pushes the buttons.

Percentage Chart: Each number on the D6 is governed by a percentage as directed below:

1 = 0%, 2 = 20%, 3 = 40%, 4 = 60%, 5 = 80%, 6 = 100%

Positive Directive: is used to determine a positive roll between the numbers 4, 5 and 6 and is governed by four rules:

Rule 1 – If 3/5 dice rolled is greater than *4 then multiply the % by 5 and divide by 100. Rule 2 – If 4/5 dice rolled is greater than *4 then multiply the % by 10 and divide by 100. Rule 3 – If 5/5 dice rolled is greater than *4 then multiply the % by 20 and divide by 100. Rule 4 – If success to Rule 3 then offensive player rolls an additional D6 multiplied by 5 then

adds to the sum of Rule 3 causing a Critical hit.

Negative Directive: is used to determine a negative roll between the numbers 1, 2 and 3 and is governed by three rules:

Rule 1 – If 3/5 dice rolled is lesser than *3 then the roll then the attack is a miss. Rule 2 – If 4/5 dice rolled is lesser than *3 then target defensive player has chance for counter

attack determined by a positive roll on a D6. Rule 3 – If 5/5 dice rolled is lesser than *3 then offensive player is affected by Retribution. The

offensive player takes Combat Damage equal to the % multiplied by 5 divided by 100 and target defensive player has chance for Counter attack determined by a positive roll on D6 and equal to attack power.

Attack Phase:

To initialize an attack the offensive player rolls five D6 (six sided dice) to determine the attack.

Design By: Joey Logan Copyright © 2000-2009 Seductive Games Inc. In Association With Fallen Comic Books LLC

Page 17: Adalaya Dreams Game Proposal

Design Document Page 17

A successful attack is determined when 3/5 or better of the dice rolled falls within the Positive Directive otherwise the attack attempt fails and is determined through the Negative Directive.

Upon a successful attack the offensive player must calculate how much damage is being directed to the defensive player by adding the Positive Directive % to the Characters attack power (Atk).

During a Non-Successful attack the offensive player must calculate how much damage is be re-directed back to the offensive player by following the Rule set within the Negative Directive.

Defence Phase:

Once the Attack directive has been calculated, the defensive player begins the Defence Phase in which the defensive player roll an even number (2,4 or 6) on a single D6 to determine a successful block.

During a successful block the damage directed towards the defensive player is then divided in half and redistributed minus the defensive players defence strength (Def).

Upon a Non-Successful block, the offensive player’s damage is dealt in whole and subtracted from the defensive players Health Points (Hp).

Techniques: Are anything that can manipulate the outcome of combat such as Character Abilities and Modified Combat Actions are described as Techniques.

Modified Combat Actions: are techniques in which the combat field is modified through the attack phase by the rules set within the Combat Directives.

Counter Attack: is a technique that the defensive player is granted after a failed attack by the offensive player during their attack phase and is treated as a normal attack. (See Negative Directive Rule 2)

Critical Attack: is a technique that the offensive player is granted after a successful attack is rolled allowing the damage dealt by the offensive player to be enhanced. (See Positive Directive Rule 4)

Retribution: is a technique that happens after a failed attack by the offensive player during their attack phase in which the attack is redirected back to the offensive player causing the offensive player damage. (See Negative Directive Rule 3)

Character Abilities: are techniques that can be found on each character card. These abilities can modify the game play as directed on the character card.

8.4 – Artificial Intelligence

In a Role Playing Game the story in which the game is created around, allows the player to experience and depicts most of how the game is played. Yet the key to creating a world in which the player can feel the experience is not just a digital book, but a challenge. The world needs a reactive entity in which we turn to AI or Artificial Intelligence.

Below are a few key examples of what to expect from the AI within the Adalaya Dreams game.

• Life AI System – system for default behaviour when bots are not alerted

• Recon AI System – alerted bots searching for presence of player

• Fight AI System – when player has been engaged in combat

• NPC AI System – this AI decides what to say or do in response to the player’s actions

As player’s behaviour in the most cases within a Role Playing Game, the Non Playable Character might be engaged in active responses for hours of game play from repeatable quests and questions. With this in mind the NPC AI System needed to be designed to change rotation in order to entertain the player during interaction.

User Interface

9.1 – Game Screen

The GUI within the game is designed to be simple and easy to access all the key features with a single selection. The navigation will be directed so the player will not have any issue finding the right command in order to carry out the functions needed to perform each action.

The game screen itself will be designed to adapt to the platform in which the player has purchased the game for. An example would be the Playstation 3 has a Linux based Operating system, so the GUI will have a look of a simple side scroll menu in which will have the main selections sequenced in order a top with many of options featured throughout mini drop down menus.

Design Document Page 19

9.2 – Functions

Throughout each selection within the menu screen, the command functions will be easy to manoeuvre by using either the controller’s essential joypad for the platform systems or by an easy click of the mouse button or hot keys used PC or Macintosh users.

Assets

10.1 – Team

Team Soul Eater has been working together for over six years on the comics, characters and story behind the game and would like to thank each and every one of these creative minds for their efforts to bring the world of Adalaya Dreams to life.

10.2 – Budget

The ideal budget for a game with such a rich story, graphics and character development would be in the area of six million, which should cover cost, production and salaries along with advertisement shorts and media exclusives.

10.3 – Schedule

Production will begin roughly mid-January 2010 and carry through the next two years in hopes of closed and open beta tests being done in 2011.

A release date sometime in the fall of 2012 would be a great profit enhancement since the game takes place around the same time and in the essence of marketing for the 2012 franchise movie and Armageddon ideals facing the end of the world.
