W05 Title screen


I decided to put frost in the middle because the player becoming frost and growing relationships with the people around them throughout the story is the emphasis of the game. I imagined a God of war style opening with the camera spinning and frost fighting Bee as the opening cut scene. after this Frost will go into a flashback and the player will start the game. to give it an authentic feel I chose to put in the EA and Bioware logos, just because my game is basically a cross between Mass Effect, batman arkham city, and infamous, but mostly Mass effect. Finally, ironically i got inspired by the name from a show called How I Met your Mother.

In a world of super heroes and super villains, it''s up to Frost to become the strongest of them all to be LEGEN-wait for  it-DARY

I plan on my game being primarily based on the story. after the player presses start he will see the options, of continue, new game, load game, settings, and extras. The title screen will either show frost in front of either the city, or the temple of heroes. if the player selects new game, i would like to dive straight into the story with an opening cinematic. this style is taken from the God of War franchise. i am a big fan of the god of war franchise and i always enjoy how part of the story is foreshadowed in a way through the title screen

New details


I did some remodeling to some of the characters so that they fit more of a color scheme. The heroes have chill blue colors, while the villains have fire red and poison purple colors. I'm still making more characters and hope to get a pretty decent number, similar to mass effect 2's ensemble of crew mates. I did some more research as i finally know how my gameplay mechanics will work. the player will be able to fight multiple enemies at once in hand to hand combat, similar to Batman Arkham City and then hold a button to bring up not only his/her power menu but also their companions. once this power menu is opened the player can select and use devastating super powers to crush their foes.  also similar, to Arkhal City, the game will be set in an open world style. you can free roam, find enemies to defeat and keep the city safe.

This also was very simple. for the most part, different shades of blue is used to make the map. This is used by the developers to make Batman blend in more with his environment. Also the colors show that the enemies stand out more than batman. the green and brown is used in contrast to the mostly blue landscape, and the bright yellow pops out a lot in order for the player to hit the counter button in time to deal severe damage to the enemy.

Choosing mass effect was an easy choice, once agin this is my favorite gaming trilogy of all time and I have taken many story elements from this trilogy. the main colors i used all represented key elements of the story of the game. The bright orange-red in the middle signifies the reaper harvest and the many stars in the galaxy. the red signifies shepherd's signature red and black armor. the blue signifies the eyes of the indoctrinated, sovereign and also the vast space in the galaxy. the silver symbolizes the logo, so that was a given. finally, the pink symbolizes the girl who always has your back, ashley and her signature armor.

The futuristic city in the top-left was very easy. the red is used as a sort of highlight. the orange is used beautifully to show the fading sunset. As the sunlight shines over the city, the city takes an orange depiction. the destroyed city is also easy because the picture looks to have a monochrome effect. the black and white can be symbolic of death and grief. the night life picture was a lot of fun. the neon green is highlighted in the middle with the red spheres help give it a tokyo theme.

Story and Gameplay

The story will make you meet several new characters and force you to make key decisions that will have drastic repercussions. In a tree-branching like story line your experience will be different from several others who also play the game. also similar to batman arkham city, I will have an advanced combat system with combos, counters and critical hits. also as you level up you will gain new powers and new abilities. The player will also choose if they want to make their frost, a brawler with superman strength, a martial artist with fast combos, or a frost in which you can use his ice abilities to crush foes as you see fit.

Characters

The main protagonist is Frost. You will frequently socially interact with several other super powered humans and even some regulars. There are multiple things that will threaten your beloved city and it is going to take a silver tongue and advanced skills to save the city and keep the lives of your friends as well. The player will start out as Frost when he is just a little sidekick. Along with his best friend Bee, they both are trained by the very skilled Shadow. However as Bee gets persuaded by the powerful super villain Dr. Cloutier he turns to a life of crime. As frost you will have to build relationships with fellow superheroes, earning their trust and respect to save your best friend Bee and your city from the evil Dr. Cloutier.

Location

The city of Leviathan is both incredibly huge and sprawling with life. The player, while taking the mantle as frost will be able to fully impact the city as well. Besides playing through missions, both story and main, the player will be able to participate in real-time activities around the city. In a city where there are super heroes and super villains anything is possible. The image to the left and on the bottom, show the semi-futuristic style that I would want my city to have, I also took some inspiration from the mass effect series with the picture to the right. In mass effect, the main protagonist Shepard is constantly shown images of what will happen if he fails. Frost, my main character will be shown what will happen if he fails to save his city.
