Final Project proposal

I am very excited to start further development of the game Scavenger.  If you remember, Scavenger was my early prototype and first foray into becoming a game developer.  It was raw and unpolished but I was proud of it.  But there are so many ideas that I have in my head that I want to add the game.  Since the prototype was just an initial showcase of what the game had to offer, it did not have the platformer module.  This game essentially has two parts; a space flight/exploration sim and a side scrolling horror/action platformer.

Early Prototype

The basic premise of the game has the player in a remote part of the galaxy where your wits and caution determine if you live or die.  Your ship has a limited amount of fuel and you need to land and explore various locations to find fuel, parts, food, and anything that might be useful to your survival.  If you somehow make it back to “civilized” space then you have won the game.

Platform prototype with sample particle effects

As you probably have guessed, this is a very ambitious project for a first time game developer like me.  But I am not alone and I have the help of 3 other talented people that are just as new to game development but also just as eager to get my vision off the ground.
