<\/a><\/a>Mechanics:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The main mechanics involve moving around an interior space, short interactions with the shopkeep, and collecting items. This will be a first-person perspective with simple pickup\/interact controls with a single button (E or Left Mouse). A possible \u201cshopping list\u201d in which items are listed and crossed off could be implemented if time allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Characters and Key Objects:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The key characters include the player, an undescribed explorer looking to collect items needed for their adventure. The only other character is the shopkeep, a young skeleton alchemist and magic item dealer who is just starting their business. Their behavior shows mild distraction in what they are working on and in turn interactions with them provide little help. Key objects will include the few items that the player needs to find in the environment (these items are unknown at this time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game World:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The level will take place entirely inside this magic and alchemy shop. This shop is located within a small town that can be partially seen from the windows\/door. Key features include cobble roads, brick walls, lots of wood, and clutter. Locations similar to small Nordic towns are a reference for the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The player will start at the entrance of the shop and be greeted by the shopkeep. They are immediately given a list of things to find and are able to explore the shop at their leisure. The player can interact with the shopkeep but will be given only short responses\/no response. Items that are needed will be lightly highlighted for ease of the player as this demo is not intended to significantly challenge the player and only to highlight the art. The end condition is finding all of the items and returning to the shop\u2019s door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These games are listed and used as references for this game in a few ways as listed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The style of this game relates heavily to Sea of Thieves. Key elements include the lower-poly style, vibrant colors, round edges, and strong edge highlights. The environment will be based upon small Nordic towns with more complex architecture. Heavy fantasy elements are incorporated within the design and items. The interior is a decently complex shop with a few rooms and lots of shelves and clutter. While seasons and time of day do not matter too heavily, it will be at least partially noticeable from the windows. It will be Fall from mid-day to twilight, with lots of warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows). The lighting inside will be on the darker side with a majority of light coming from windows (natural lighting) and warm glowing lanterns. The overall mood conveyed should be a sense of coziness and comfort, a relaxing environment to allow the player a calm setting to explore. This setting should appeal to the intended audience with the freedom to explore in a cozy and rich environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overview: \u201cMagic Shop\u201d is a simple character exploration demo that may be part of a bigger adventure game. A first-person adventure-type game, players will explore the stylized shop to find a list of items needed to continue their adventure with some minor interactions with young enthusiastic shopkeep. The intended audience for this game are players… <\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Walkthrough:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
