Game Pitch: Battle of the Ages

So this is my game idea that I've come up with, feel free to tell what things work well and which don't.

Battle of the Ages

Battle of the Ages is a Odin Sphere meets Guilty Gear game that will allow players to master different sets of controls, character development, exploration, and epic boss fights on a one-on-one basis.

Game Overview

Battle of the Ages takes some of the elements from Odin Sphere and combines them with the fighting and art style of the Guilty Gear series.

Control Sets

Players will be able to switch between two different control sets. The first set will be used when the player is roaming around which is structured in a beat’em up style to get rid of many enemies at once. The second set is activated when a player meets a boss, which will switch the game from a beat’em up to a fighting game.

Character Development

Players will be able to level up during the game, this will increase the damage they can output and the amount of damage received before the character dies. Players will also be able to collect stronger weapons or armor at the end of certain levels or after boss fights.

Exploration

The beat’em up side of the game will have multiple levels. Players will be required to revisit levels to explore sections that they weren’t able to access the first time. Players will be rewarded with items or experience points for this exploration.

Boss Fights

Boss will be fought one-on-one. Players will be able to do different moves than when roaming the world that focus on a single opponent. Players will be able to link moves to do combos and even do destructive finishing moves.

To get a better idea of what I'm talking about here is some gameplay videos from Odin Sphere and Guilty Gear.

So that's my game idea. I'm having second thoughts about some of the stuff that I presented. But I'll just wait and see if my game even gets picked to move on to the next stage.

Thanks for reading.

My Introduction

Hi, my name is Christian and I'm a Film student on the EAE Track. I'm the first one in my family to go to college and, if all goes well, I'll be the first one to get a degree once I graduate.

I love to play video games and watch movies. I mostly play on my PS3 or on my PSP, so I tend to be a bit of a Sony fanboy. I don't play many PC games mostly because I have a Mac, but I have been thinking of getting Windows 7 for my MacBook Pro.

Some of the games that I've played recently are: Assassins Creed 2, CoD: Modern Warfare 2, Star Ocean: The Last Hope International, and Final Fantasy 13.

Apart from being on the EAE program at the U, I'm also trying to get a degree in Japanese. People often ask me why I want to get a degree on Japanese, and I tell them that it's because one day I want to move to Japan and hopefully work in the game/animation industry over there. While I know that it will be very challenging, I think that I should be able to do it.

I'm not very good when it comes to programming, so I tend to go on the art side of things (which is why I'm on the film side of the EAE and not on the CS). I'm good with Maya and I know my way around Photoshop.

Anyways, that's me.
