3.03 - Sound Act/Adv

Idea for September February 7, 2008

Theme: Sound (underdeveloped)

includes topics that expand on the theme

game genre with possible significant changes or important points

Action adventure game where changes in sound and music affect the player’s abilities and the environment

individual gameplay mechanics and mechanics categorized by system

Sound Control:
- Sound and music can not only be heard, but seen in the game (through shapes, lines and colours)
- Sound manipulation is used to attack and defend
  - Controlling speed, tempo, beat and pitch to work against different enemies, or to solve different puzzles
  - Creating rhythm and melody can result in combos and stronger moves
- Sound is used against sound for combat
External Sounds:
- The environment sound effects like BGM also affect the player’s abilities
- Matching the player’s sounds to the same beat as the BGM can result in different boons, or drawing an opponent into an area where their music is incompatible can make them weaker

narrative elements concerning plot, characters, world

Evil music that the player must overturn or destroy?
Each level is the physical representation of a song, and the player’s goal is to reshape the song
The player’s character is blind, and the world is a visual representation of sound for the player to navigate: objects that don’t make sound can’t be seen

includes possible target user group traits

includes hardware that would best support the game

Home consoles should be sufficient for both control and performance of the game
