Light Orbs

Our group came across a game called Feist, It's a game that uses silhouettes and light to guide you through the levels, Its very clever with lighting, and uses light orbs to bring the level to life. Here is a video for it.


We have used this game as inspiration for a game idea we came up with. Our innitial idea was that an evil dooer stolen all the light in the land, and your sole purpose is to take it all back and restore light to your hom e. We thought about it starting out dark using silhouettes so you can navigate round the game, collecting light orbs as you go bringing them to each check point to restore light, once all check points have been completed you will face a boss in oder to collect the all the light orbs to restore all the light to the land, but in each level there will be gremlins trying to steal it off you, if you lose orbs they die and you cant get them back, if you dont reach the minimum limit for each checkpoint its game over.
Within the game there will be mini games in which you have to collect more light orbs and score points for each orb you collect, these points go onto your profile the more points you collect the more stuff you can unlock withing the game.
When the gremlins come to steal your orbs fast pacing/suspence music will play. Matt Bridgeman will be making the soundtrack, you can listen to all his music on his music cloud.
Im going to be doing the character design, the sketches and final designs will be on here soon. Enjoy.
