We don’t have a confirmed deadline for the 1st level environments and skins, but we estimate to have a good amount done by October 20th We aim to get at least a playable scene done by the end of the semester This project will take longer than most so we have the year to do it.

Ubisoft Motion Pictures – They haven’t officially put out any movies, but with series already adapted to film and graphic novel like Prince of Persia, they are sure to have a huge following. 9/27/2011 CAPS Students: Claudia, Otis, Jordan, and Matthew 9/27/2011 CAPS students: Matthew, Otis, Claudia, and Jordan

9. How we will beat our competition Nowadays the video game industry is riddled with copycats so bringing this fresh new idea to the table will help attract the necessary audience and help get Heavy Weather Films’ movie noticed Keeping it simple and interesting will keep our audience playing. Bringing back the classic feel of 3D Platforming will up the replayability and keep its uniqueness while games like CoD and Battlefield are constantly being compared, we won’t have to many games to be compared to. 9/27/2011 CAPS Students: Claudia, Otis, Jordan, and Matthew 9/27/2011 CAPS students: Matthew, Otis, Claudia, and Jordan

10. What we will do to get started After our next meeting with them we plan on officially starting the design process on the game. We thankfully have some knowledge under the belt on the engine and what our clients have in mind. To reassure them and get them on board 100% we plan on showing them more of what we have, what we can do, and how fast we can do it. 9/27/2011 CAPS Students: Claudia, Otis, Jordan, and Matthew 9/27/2011 CAPS students: Matthew, Otis, Claudia, and Jordan

11. Our Pitch This game needs to be fresh and unique while steel keeping a nostalgic and classic feel. To accomplish that we are making the genre of the game a fairly successful classic; a platformer. It will encourage the quest goal of the game, while keeping the player on a guided and structured path. Gamers love structure, but also love freedom, and this will give them a feeling of both, while also triggering that nostalgic switch, making them want to play it over and over again. 9/27/2011 CAPS Students: Claudia, Otis, Jordan, and Matthew 9/27/2011 CAPS students: Matthew, Otis, Claudia, and Jordan

12. Client Approval We will request confirmation in person as well as in writing(through email) and through basecamp headquarters. 9/27/2011 CAPS Students: Claudia, Otis, Jordan, and Matthew 9/27/2011 CAPS students: Matthew, Otis, Claudia, and Jordan
