Following a storyline and being and told what to do. Not anymore.
You're welcomed into the game with a easy start menu which gives you the choice to create, options for the game control and forums to ask questions to other players and help you throughout the game.
Create mode
The create mode is simple and fun! You're first given the choice which planet you're character will spawn on when your character has adapted in order to live and survive on the planet. When you move between planets your character will adapt slightly in order to survive, however you can change the appearance of this when visiting the planet to what suits you best. You will then be given the option to choose what gender you want your character to be, there will be a different choice of the creature you want your character to be. You will be able to change your characters hair, eyes, skin tone and even change your character features. There will be a choice for clothing, however you will be given basic clothing and weapons as your character will start at level 1. Throughout the game you will level up with the points you are given as you progress through the missions.

Mulitverse
There is 4 planets throughout the game, Multiverse is the first planet that your character will spawn on and is the main planet out of the rest of them. Multiverse is based on the inside of a ship, that has many shops throughout the ship, sections that you can go and hang out with your friends and you also hav your own room that you can design and store your armour and clothing.

The design of the planet will be a ship, it will have 3 floors. The first floor will include your character moving between planets through little pods which your character has to wait for if there is a queue. It will give you the options to change your character to adapt or you can select quick journey and your character will be get sent ro a random planet. The second floor will include the shops for your character to go and purchase new armour, clothing, upgrades etc. The third floor will be the mission area for your character this is the place where your character can complete missions and also the section for your character to go into it's own bedroom, that you can upgrade and expand.
On each planet your character will change slightly in order to survive on the specific planet. Multiverse is the main planet and will allow your character to be whatever you want it to be (This depends on whether you have vistied the different planets to unlock certain clothing.)
Sandstorm
The sandstorm planet is different from the other planets as it is a sand themed planet. Each part of the planet will be made out of sand. Your character will change slightly as your character needs to be able to adapt to the planet to survive. The planet won't be as big as Mulitverse however, it will have all of the similar options. Sandstorm will still have the mission area which will include shops that will have more advanced armour, clothing and upgrades than Multiverse as it's a more advanced planet. This will also mean that the mission will include higher level monsters, that will provide more points and more money, however much it will be harder.

On Sandstorm your character will change slightly by having scales on the skin and your eyeballs to adapt to the harsh environment, you can still edit youself by choosing the colour of your eyes or scales. However, as your character levels up it will be able to change to an more advanced style.
Robania
Robania is a quite unique planet as everything is more technical and is all robot based. It's more difficult to travel around this planet than the rest of them as you need to remember codes to unlock certain doors to travel across the planet. The mission will include higher level robotic monsters, this will mean you will gain more points, money and also codes to unlock some secret gifts if you're lucky enough!
When you first come onto the planet, you will start in a small room that will be full of codes that you need to remember to unlock certain doors to travel around the planet. The planet will be the same as the rest as it will include shops, help centers and again a mission area.

Why choose this game?
This is different from other games, as most games are based in the modern day society such as GTAV however, this is unique and is a form of excapism as it opens your imagination into something quite different. It attracts a wider audience as it's open to younger children, teenagers and even adults as it's appropriate for all ages, although it depends on is the audience have an interest in role playing games and sandbox games such as this one. It's a relaxing game, with no pressure apart from upgrading your character and have a good fantasy life.

LO4: Game Ideas
Game Idea 1 - Island Adventure
There is plane crash, however you survive and you drift a shore onto a deserted island, your job is to create new ideas to try and get home, the ideas are not restricted so this means anything found on the island you can use.
Game Idea 2
The best possible hardware for this game would be Xbox/PlayStation, as this would be easier for people to access the online gameplay with the membership they will have purchased for their account. It's likely they will have access to a microphone to be able to communicate with online players, to help each other out throughout the game. It would be easier with the gameplay to control using a Xbox controller and a PlayStation controller, than a PC keyboard or iOS/Android.
Target Audience:
The target audience for the age of this game would be PEGI 12, this would be because the game wouldn't involve graphic violence as it would be all fantasy. The gender however wouldn't specify at a particular gender, although males would be more likely to play the game as the genre is action, which contains violence as males stereotypically enjoy more. Furthermore, females can play the game as there will be a gender choice and female options. Social Grade: ABC1 Competitive games:
