Treatment Document

Turn this in as a GROUP
Due April 5th by midnight

Review the design constraints before working on this treatment! Submit a PDF file (this is the only format that is acceptable) by due the date through Slack.

Note, the treatment is not a contract, but rather a chance for the team to think through most aspects of the game before starting. You may, and likely will, change your mind about details as you work on the project––that is fine.

Keep a copy of this document and add it to your game website, as soon as it is created (see the timeline for when the website needs to be up). The elevator pitch below should be a maximum of three sentences, e.g., "A top-down shooter using rotten vegetables that takes place in the supermarket produce section. You win the game by hitting your opponent with a complete salad."

Treatment Information/Sections include:

  • Game Title
  • Team Leader (include email)
  • IMGD 4000 Students (including emails)
  • IMGD 4500 Students (including email)
  • Elevator Pitch (maximum 3 sentences describing the game)
  • Detailed Description

The detailed description should include:

  • Where and when does the game take place?
  • Who/what are the protagonist and adversary (which one is the player)?
  • Explain the primary objective of the player and how the player wins.
  • Explain the general game narrative (if any) in 1-2 paragraphs
  • What is the basic game mechanic? (Use visuals, as appropriate)
  • Include asset list (with brief description, as needed). Your asset list should list everything you anticipate having to create for the game from both a tech and art standpoint.
  • Briefly describe the technical requirements that will be used in the game (e.g., physics, pathfinding, networking, AI).
  • Include style guide, with all sketches, images, and concept art. artists will need to have come up with one concept sketch for their main character, 5 NPC characters/objects, and environment.

Course instructors will provide feedback in the first lab after the treatment due date regarding the proposed art and tech scope, and may suggest changes.
