Guided by the hand of God become David as he shepherds flocks, battles Kings and agendas, romances women, and builds alliances to become a great King.
Genre: Action-RPG
Theme: Ancient Middle East/ Egyptian
Target Market: Mature
Gameplay
Player reenacts the life of David based on Biblical accounts. The player's choices influence the responses
David will make and ultimately what type of person, but do not change David's
future. The choices can slow the
progression to the next stages.
There are four stages that the player must cover in order to
become King.
1.
Youth/Shepherd
Starting as a youth he shepherds sheep and
builds up his skills in fighting with a staff, the slingshot, playing a lyre,
and commandeering sheep to safety. It is
also the player's job to gather Godly words of wisdom which are verses from the
Bible. He also needs to meet people within the village and continue to build up
a reputation. Final stage is when Samuel blesses him with the Holy Spirit.
2.
Teen/musician & water boy for the soldiers
As a teen he learns about his own personal
charming qualities and increases these skills with the people he meets and
influences. He studies with the priests
and learns the power of prayer and music. He is enlisted by Saul to alleviate
his demons. It will be David's duty to
fight off these demons. The final battle is the fight with Goliath.
3.
Young Adult/ Soldier
He is enlisted in the army where he has to
learn strategy, mapping and maneuvering new weapons (swords and arrow) to fight
the Philistines, Moabites, Syrians, Zobah, etc. Final fight is a private battle
with Saul. A lose, lose. If player
character is about to win then Jonathan's begs David to spare Saul. Then
because he's attacked the king, David has to flee the castle.
If character loses, he is forced to flee
castle.
4.
Adult/ Wandering Militant
He builds up skills in languages, stealth, and
foreign diplomacy. He still is in constant battle sometimes between random
foreign soldiers, demons, but mostly Saul's soldiers. He must train his men to fight Saul's men
without killing. In order to become King, player must make the correct
alliances and acquire the right 5 women.
The game will allow David to charm and build relationships with all
women, but he must max out the relationship of a particular 5. One should have
been maxed out by the end of stage 3.
5.
King
As King he continues to battle, but the real
war is demons and lusts that attack him. As David ages, certain skills show
depletion and must be replenished in order to get to the final scene. [Power of
Prayer, certain relationships and alliances] David dies of old age, but the
game will end with the final battle between David and the sons of Goliath.
Story
The setting is Ancient Israel.

Competition
Because
Christian based games are rare it is hard to think of a competitor.
The environment and culture I want to be similar to Assassin's
Creed I but with the immersion of Sky Rim or Oblivion.
The armor and weapons should be reflective of the time period and
upgradeable. There is an extensive list.
Design Team
Team of one, but there are several other Christian developers out
there hoping to promote a good Biblical game. The plan would be to get everyone
together to work on the project.
Budget/Income
Kickstarter.com would be a great way to fund the project, if I
decide to acquire a Team. The money acquired would set the budget for the game.
If personal funding is used, I'm probably looking at:
$1500 Unity Pro + $500 for team license = $2000
Estimate about $1250 for Console add-on
Acquire PS3 certification to develop:
Use of Blender for models and animation and it's free.
Monthly
subscription: $40 per month
Complete
Basic: $400 Advanced: $550
Acquisition of Models: archive3d.net/?category=545
