The game design focuses on satisfying the needs of pan-secondary users and light action gamers, with an emphasis on gorgeous and smooth audio and visual performances, as well as delicate feedback, aiming to provide a sense of achievement in defeating powerful enemies.
The art style is a blend of sci-fi, acid design, and Y2K elements, with a rich colour palette that highlights a sense of high class and a light cyberpunk style, with pan-secondary characters + hard-surface mechanical enemies to appeal to the target user group. The rendering pipeline is PBR + NPR.
The game genre is defined as a linear action game with a third-person perspective to provide an intuitive combat experience and an immersive story environment.
The development focus is on the PC platform, ensuring that the game controls and interaction design uses the joystick as the primary interface to enhance the player’s interactive experience.
The viewpoint is set in a conventional third-person perspective, with reference to successful cases such as Jedi Zone Zero, and the distance between the viewpoint and the camera and the character is carefully adjusted to optimise the player’s visual experience and gameplay fluency.
The game mechanics and level design focus on providing continuous challenges and gradually revealing the story line to keep players’ interest and participation.
The sound effects and soundtrack are carefully crafted to harmonise with the game’s sci-fi + acidic design style, enhancing the game’s sense of atmosphere and immersion.
