For my game, I am looking to create a dystopian city where you will be playing an assassin called Dexa. Dexa lost both of her parents and was forced into the streets to fend for herself. On the brink of hunger, she was offered a dark, misty elixir from an old merchant which molded her body into a shadow. After honing the ability to transform her right hand into a blade of darkness, she now rules over the dark alleyways, hunting those who prey on the weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The player will be exploring multiple alleyways as they swiftly eliminate enemies from the shadows. Beware though! The streets may be dimly light but watch out for the rays of light that shine down from illuminated signs and streetlights. They soak up your dark power, but not to worry! In the depths of the shadows lay blobs of fear that empower Dexa to enhance her killing potential. Eliminate all the enemies on the street. Explore each nook and cranny of the streets, and you might just discover a secret about her past life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I want the game to be set in a futuristic city with lots of colorful neon signs glowing against dark, concrete expansive walls. The scene for this game will take place near the \u2018home\u2019 of Dexa; an alleyway enclosed by various entertainment spots such as casinos, stores, and arcades. I want it to feel as though it is a mix between times square and Tokyo. The enemies will be yakuza-esque thugs looking to prey on the weak (depending on if I have time to model both Dexa and them.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intended audience for the game will shift more towards teens and young adults who are looking to enjoy the cinematic experience of nighttime in the city backstreets. The game will revolve around the player moving around the shadows while executing NPCs. It will also include having to enter the light to pass some places and enter back into the darkness to \u2018heal\u2019. They will also be rewarded for collecting dark essence in hidden away corners that will boost the damage they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
