Part 1: The Basics
★ Name What is the name of your game?
The last man’s fight
This could be the name of the main character (Kirby, Super
Mario), an important object (Halo, Elden Ring), the main activity
(SEGA Bass Fishing, Assassin’s Creed) or if you’re having trouble
with that, you can just put a bunch of words together and hope
it works out (Blaster Master, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R).
★ Target Audience Who is your game for?
It is for ages 16 and up for violence , language and gore.
Consider the age of your intended playerbase, what other
games that they would be interested in, how casual the
playerbase is,

have kidnapped the humans and he has to save the earth all on
his own .

Part 2: The Gameplay
★ The Player Who is the main character of your game?
The main character is a man who lives in Utah and he gets a
notification about a odd shaped ship that land in a field near him
What kind of person are they? What do they do? What is their
mission/goal? He is an old man who is the last person on earth
and is just trying to survive. His mission is to save the earth and
save the kidnapped humans from the alien robots with just an
old baseball bat that he found.
★ Core Mechanics What are the main mechanics of your game?
The mechanics are you can collect food and mats to build a
shelter and attachments to your baseball bat.
Take Minecraft for example. The main mechanics of the game
are being able to break (almost) any block, collect said block and
be able to place it anywhere else. Minecraft also has both melee
and ranged combat (which isn’t too in depth), various enemies
which each do different things and drop different items. You can
also use items and blocks on a crafting table to create new items
and blocks.
★ Controls All of the controls of the game should be noted here.
The controls are WASD to move the R button to retrieve and the
enter button to swing and use your baseball bat and the space
bar to jump and shift to run and Z to save the humans the ESC
button will open the menu the mouse will allow you to look
about and click on doors to open them.
What are you using for movement? What controller are you
using? If you are playing on PC, will the mouse do anything?
Which button brings up the menu?
★ Winning & losing How does one lose the game? How does one succeed?
You lose the game if you die from fall damage,being shot or die
of starvation you win by killing all the alien robots and saving
earth and the humans .
This could be defeating all the enemies, getting a certain object
to a certain place, reaching the end of the level which is marked
by a flagpole (or something similar).
★ UI & UX What does the HUD of the game look like? Does your game have
a health bar/Hit points? Do you have any in game menus?
Inventory systems? Any other important menu parts in the
display? There is a health bar and hunger bar. If you lose all your
hunger you die you have 5 inventory spaces and a menu to
change the difficulty .

it set (if the game is even set on earth)? Is the area rural or
urban?

or something complex (Metal Gear Solid)?
The story of the game is where alien robots have taken all the
humans but one man escapes but the alien robots have blown
up all of earth's shops so the man has to fight with an old
baseball bat and save all of earth and all the humans.
★ Artstyle How realistic does your game look?
My game looks super realistic with motion capture to get the
movement of the aliens and the humans
How is the game shaded? How thick are the outlines (if there are
any)? Is the game hand-drawn/painted (Okami, League of
Legends, Bastion)? Is it Cel Shaded (Guilty Gear Strive, Legend of
Zelda Wind Waker)? Is it pixel art (Super Mario World, Celeste,
Katana Zero)? Is it realistic (Medal of Honour, Mortal Kombat,
Wreckfest)?
