CSCI 171: project phase I game concept and initial sales pitch

Deliverables and expectations

This deliverable represents the concept document/sales pitch for your planned course project.

A hardcopy, word-processed document is to be submitted to the course instructor by the deadline noted above.

Spelling, grammar, and overall professionalism of the document will be considered as part of the grading.

Review the notes on the sales pitch before starting this deliverable, though note that many of the requirements have been "toned down" due to the introductory nature of the course and project.

Required contents:

• Cover page
  This must include the names and email addresses of the team members (you may work individually or in pairs), your team name, and your project/game name.

• Concept document / sell sheet
  A single page, summarizing what your game is and who would buy it if you were to market it. This should be targetted as a clear summary for folks who don't see the rest of the submission.

• Preliminary images and/or sketches
  Include a set of scenes, sketches, images and/or hypothetical screenshots that highlight the game style, gameplay, and key characters and storyline (if appropriate) for the game.

• Game design overview
  This describes the games features in more detail than the overview This should include discussion of:
  • any key characters and storyline (if appropriate) and general flow of the game
  • the gameplay mechanics, interface, and controls
  • the artistic styles (images, animation, music)

• Comparative analysis
  This should summarize a small number of past/current/forthcoming games that are most closely comperable to your own game (or parts of it), clarifying how they are like/unline your own. This should help give the reader a feel for your game in relationship to others they have experience with.
