CONSECLICKER

:)
 Game Design

Summary:
To elicit emotional response in a genre that is devoid of actor-ecological emotional response, to
allow a higher rate of retention and user interaction. The game is an idle/clicker game where the
main goal for the user is to select structures that will further increase their currency gain at
infinitum. In addition to this there will also be villagers that will express their life goals and the
user will can either help them out or to deter their goals from coming to fruition. The story
behind this is that the user will be taking the role of a god like being that will be tasked in
making Atlantis grow from a village to the greatest nation that ever will be.

Gameplay:
Gameplay will be the user taps the screen to gain a fixed amount of currency. Once the user has
enough currency to buy a structure they will elect the one that they want. The structures
themselves come with a fixed amount of currency gain over time, and will have ways to upgrade
to increase or decrease the currency yield. The obstacles to overcome are derived from the
villagers specifying their goals and the users attachment, or lack thereof, to choose which
structure/upgrade that can yield to the villagers goals to come true or to be blocked.

Mindset:
The mindset we wish to instill in our player base is to realize that their actions have effect in the
world. In addition, we would like for the user to feel the heaviness of their actions when it
comes to the negative effects that occurs to the villagers, also feel the elation for making the
villagers fulfil their life goals.

Scope:
When it comes to scope we decided to go with a tiered system:
1. Having the core clicker/idle game, and have the villager life goal mechanics working
with the structures/structures upgrades.
2. Adding a Hash map to user inputted music that will allow for whatever music the game is
given to give special buffs to currency production
3. Adding a Hash map to user inputted selfies that will allow for the pixel colors to give a
special buff to currency production
4. Finally adding a Geolocation tag to give buffs depending on the area that the user is in
a. Such as being in a town increasing industrial structures giving more currency

Android/IOS & Steam

Controls:
The user will interact with the game through tapping the screen of their phones, or through
clicking buttons on their computers. Button mapping will not be needed since the game is
primarily touch controls, so players are more likely to understand the controls easier. When it
comes to the in-game events they will be triggered through having a structure that can fulfil the
villagers goals.

Mechanics:
For the mechanic that involves the villagers goals they will be given variables of the buildings
that their goals coincide with. So right before structures become available then there will be a
villager check to see if any of them can make use of them which will call the villager to the top
of the screen to interact with the user. From there it will be up to the user to decide the fate of
these villagers.
 Graphics/ Sounds/ Music

Style Attributes: Graphics

The colors depend on what story avenue the user decides to go along. For the lines that benefits
the villagers the colors will be warmer and if its detrimental they become cooler colors.
The graphics depend on how many artists that we get, though the initial concept is a minimalistic
vector art style that is reminiscent of Stella, Judd, and Newman. Though, if we can accrue many
artists we can move to a minimalistic pixel style. Since we are going minimalistic outlines will
not be present but shading/dithering will be present. When it comes to general shape we will be
going for sharp angles and trying to keep out smooth curvature.

Style Attributes: Music

Music will all be more relaxed tones with a standard 4/4 beat. Instruments will most likely be
piano with some hards and chimes. The effects will also go in the same vein such as the buttons
will be low toned chines that seem to just flow. For the SFX it would best to have rather
exaggerated cartoony sounds so that they pop out compared to our other sounds.

Sounds Needed:
1. Effects
a. Buttons Pressed
b. Tapping the screen for currency
c. Villager talking to the user (If possible)
d. Police Siren
e. New Structure Available
f. New Structure Upgrade Available

g. Villagers story Update

Music Needed:
1. Slow-paced, cool piano/harps/chimes music

2. Extreme metal song for credits section

 User Interface
1. A new mockup of the UI has been made for the game and it will be implemented later on
when we can go ahead and start adding functions to them.
2. The new UI will have the relative same function, but this time around we will have things
be a little bit smoother so that all the player has to do is click a couple of times and start
building.
3. Stats of the buildings is something we want to focus on so that players know what kind of
progress they are making in real time.
4. Other functions will allow the players to go ahead and access different options so that
they can customize their game to their liking.
5. New drawer type of buttons that make everything work a lot smoother instead of at a
blocky and slow pace.
6. Functionality for social media will be accessible for players so they can keep up to date
with our game. If they would like to support then they can visit our twitter as well as our
Facebook page and other sources.
