We have settled on an idea for the concept of the game. The idea is number two of our previous (very) shortlist. It is a first person based freerunning parkour game. We came to this decision due to the fact that this idea has a greater niche in the market as opposed to a racing game which would be hidden within an already saturated marketplace. A driving based game would also make it very hard to develop any plot or characterization.
We met again today. After confirming our game choice we set about fleshing out the story we had come up with on Tuesday.
So far the story is as follows:
Set in 2153, a city is divided into two distinct factions. The downtrodden poor and the rich in their ivory towers. A number of the wealthy keep physically fit slaves which they then race against each other in a horrific bloodsport. The races are filmed and broadcast as entertainment. Those who compete are known as runners. The opening act of the game will take place in these races. The character will learn his trade from an elderly mentor during this time. He will then escape and be forced to flee from the assembled might of his former owner who is hell bent on making an example.
