Week #2: Game Pitches!

Here is the game pitch for my game!

KING OF THE STEAM

By

Sarah Ripley

A turn-based search for the ultimate steam-punk weapon to defeat your opponents at the top of the city!

Basic Idea:

• 
  This game is somewhat formatted as a board game. But don’t let this turn you off!

• Players choose their character who start out with their own simple weapon.

• Players take turns rolling dice (or some similar mechanic) to determine how many spaces they can move.

• A player can choose the paths they want to go on to get to the certain squares on the board (described below).

• Be careful! Cross the path of another player and a fight will ensue where the victor gets their opponents supplies.

Ultimate goal:

• Collect a useful weapon and all the gear you need while still trying to get to the end of the board before the other players.

• The first player to reach the top can set up defenses in preparation for the other players.

• Once all players reach the top the ultimate fight happens to determine who will win the game!

Spaces:

• collect items that help/ repair weapons (oil, etc.)
• objects that will help with defense at top (gates, landmines, etc.)
• go back a certain amount of spaces
• take away weapon (can be fight against AI to determine)
• chance to search for a weapon (have to choose a random box and hope there's a good weapon in it)
  
  

I didn't put this information in my game design doc, but I had more ideas!:
