DMS 231: Final Project Proposal

Motivation/InspirationI have been interested in various types of vehicles such as cars and planes from a young

age. I also like video games and animes that involve futuristic aircraft or spacecraft. For the

most, part I prefer games in which the player interaction in the game is not in form of a human or

animal but that of a vehicle. These are what inspire and motivate me into creating a game that the

player interaction is in form of a futuristic spacecraft.

Project Narrative / DescriptionThe game will take place in a mountainous environment (figure 1) with various cannons

scatter throughout the background. The player in the game will be in form of a spacecraft (figure

2). The player’s objective is to shoot down all of the enemy’s spacecraft. The cannons (figure 3)

will be shooting at the player. That player also must not hit any of the landscape as they travel

through it. The background sound will be music for the most part. There is not much narrative,

only in the beginning to tell the objective.

Installation/Display Plan for an Exhibition and User InteractionFor this project, the game is intended to be a single player on a computer. The player will

be in form of a spacecraft in third person perspective. They will be able to control the movement

of the spacecraft (up, down, left, and right) and shoot at the enemy’s spacecraft. The spacecraft

will move in a linearly on its own. The player’s spacecraft and the enemy’s spacecraft will each

have their own life bar. The life bar of the player drops when the cannons hit them and they

come in physical contact with the mountains and grounds. The enemy’s life bar will drop as the

player’s shot hits them. If the player’s life bar drop to zero before the enemy’s then it is game

over. If it is the other way around then the player will move to the next level. The next level will

be the same idea but more difficult by having more enemies and more cannon and have a slightly

different environment.

Goal / EffectThe goal of this project is to my first video game. I do not want the game to be too

complicated as this is the first game I am making. For this class, I will try to make three levels. If

I have time I will make more. This will also help me learn how to create video games in which

will allow me to create more games in the future.
