Programming Flow Chart

LO 2: Target Audience

I have decided to market SteamGoon to people of my age range, between 10 and 20 years old. My game will be available at a predicted cost of between £1 and £4 on the mobile app marketplace. In terms of target demographic class, it is most beneficial to aim for the top ABC1 Profile as they generally have the most disposable income to spend on this sector of consumer product.

SteamGoon - Synopsis

SteamGoon is a steam punk aesthetic inspired platformer puzzle title. The game will be a 2-D side scroller; the design relating to pixel art.

Narrative
You play as Otto, the first AI android created by pioneering scientist Karl Cech utilizing cosmic rock. Bringing Otto to life caused the extremely volatile material to release as a gas causing the scientist to become crazy and feral. Otto is is disposed of in an insane move by his inventor and the android is cast into the streets of New York. Karl unleashes an evil plot to convert the island into a clockwork bastion in which he intends to use to convert the rest of the world's population into robots using a weapon powered by a concentration of the cosmic rock and Punkium, earth's rarest mineral. The city's inhabitants and buildings are slowly transforming into clockwork powered machines. It is up to you, to traverse New York and return to Dr. Cech's AutomaTower, your place of conception, to thwart his villainous plans of world domination.

Possible Feature
{Due to a programming lock, Otto is unable to harm other organisms directly including the machines that have been sent to kill him. You have to find ways to get past the mechanisms stealthily or try to engage them indirectly using your environment until further on in the game.}

Level Plan
You begin in the residential suburbs of Brooklyn, awoken after being abandoned by your creator. The tower of the mad scientist looms in the distance altering into a weapon defense fort. It fires a strange beam of light towards the area, causing screaming pedestrians to change into robots and buildings to transform into clockwork run contraptions. These buildings become your means of traversal The first mission teaches the player how to control Otto and introduce mechanics that will become important throughout the game. As you progress, you come to meet allies who are inventors sheltering from Dr. Cech's wrath in their workshops; to aid in your quest they have developed gadgets to use that will help you access new areas. On the first mission, you are presented with the Link Grasp; this allows Otto to connect to Loop Hooks that pulls him up to areas and platforms inaccessible by normal jumping.
