Final Selection


So in making a final selection, all of the above choices have their pros and cons. For this reason, it is difficult to reject the positive points of some and retain the negative aspects of another. Therefore, the final solution will not be one of the above choices listed, but instead an amalgamation of the positive aspects of each selection, in an attempt to create the most positive gaming experience.
This final game design will be called Willowbrook. Like High School, it will be a role-playing game, however, it will not contain any real-world elements and thus won’t be bound by the same creative limitations. Like Street Racer it will include the ability to utilize vehicles as an important element of game play, however, these will not be the central focus, so that their implementation will not be held to the same standard as other games of that genre. Just as Invasion uses 2D elements and an alien-driven storyline, this final solution will also place the main character in a similar situation, without relying on the simplistic and overdone arcade style of gaming.
Willowbrook will be a third-person, side-scrolling RPG that will incorporate 2D animated cutscenes, and first-person views of interior scenarios. In this game, the player takes on the role of Hal, an ex-garbage man who uncovers the ancient secrets of the town of Willowbrook. These secrets tell of an alien invasion that is coming, and through a series of puzzles, dungeons, and boss battles he must gather seven mystical stones to power a planet-wide force field that will protect the Earth from this incursion.
Ultimately, Willowbrook is a sound idea, since it incorporates the best aspects of each of the alternate solutions, and with its quirky graphics and unique storyline has the capacity to impress the modern video gamer.
