Time Wars
Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject Summary“Time Wars” is a 2.5D action adventure side-scroller game revolving around historic characters and time travel. The style of the game is inspired by games of 16-bit gaming console era which had perhaps the most iconic games in history such as the likes of Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog. Due to the popularizing of hyper-casual games, the classic side-scrolling style of games has been long forgotten. With the idea of revamping the style in high definition 2d art and 3d backgrounds can this style be remastered. It would differentiate from other games that may be similar in terms of idea as the game incorporates more than one type of action genre such as beat ‘em up and shooters featured as different selectable stages with unique protagonists for each stage. The creativity in the story and style of game would surely attract players and enthusiasts of classic games to play this game and leave them hoping for a sequel as the story’s ending will hint that a continuation is possible.
The hearts of the young and mature alike all have a soft spot for 2d oriented games as they are perceived as homage to legendary works of the past. However, the games in the past had few troubles to target masses as there were few console entertainment systems rivaling each other hence developers were able to port their games to the popular consoles. In the matter of today’s scenario, players are more likely to play a game if it’s popular with masses owning the same console due to which developers seek to make multi-platform games. Even then the style of games from the past attract people despite the consoles they own.
The concept and the gameplay of Time Wars is quite unique from the previously developed 2.5D games. The concept revolves around actual historical knowledge and events dwelling into science fiction as the story develops which has not been commonly observed in other games, hence creating interest for new players. And the gameplay incorporates various genres; a mixture of beat ‘em up, shooter and racing all incorporated in a single game, also not very much witnessed before.
The following proposal describes the details of the game about to be developed. It includes the complete plot/storyline of the game in detail. It also includes the motivation we had to develop this game and the scope that it would have in the future. The proposal includes some of the related work/games similar in concept and design.
