Game Concept
M3 || Summer 2006 || Game Concepting
I completed a game concept including structure, mechanics, and an inovative form of level design. The game concept allows the user to create their own challenges, tell their own story, and have the computer respond in a rich and useful way. Based on heist movies, this game has a completely open structure allowing the user to do whatever they like however they like. Unlike other sandbox games, however, the game understands what the user is trying to do and creates rich responses to it.
