Game design
Assets
Art
I want the game to have a simple look and not be too crowded and messy. Image below of what I want my game to look like
The users of my game are mostly kids and teenagers, so I want to make my game simple and not too over the top.
Sound
I might add sound to my game as an extra feature, but I will probably not have a lot of time to do this. I might add this feature if I have completed the game, and want to add more
-
Special effects
Special effects is an option I could add in after I complete the base game.
Adding this will make the game more visual and fun.
Overview
Features
The first thing I will need to do is add controls and movement to the game. I will need to be able to let the player move the shape left, right, and down, and also let them rotate the shape in all directions
This feature and the bottom three I chose because they are essential to make the game run. (You need movement and line clearing for the game to function)
Secondly, I will need to write some code that can generate the shapes randomly, so it does not give the same shape over and over.
Thirdly, will need something to know when the player has made a line so it can clear the line and maybe give points
Lastly, as a extra feature, I will make outline system to show where the shape will land if you place it, like in the real game. This is not necessary, but it is useful to add.
Extra/Optional
-
Maybe a hold system to hold a shape and save it, if you do not want to use it.
I could maybe add a visual to show what shapes are coming up next
All these extra options would make the player experience better but I will not do straightaway.
Setting
The game will be on a 5 by 10 grid, exactly like the original game
History
Tetris is a video game made in 1984, in which you make lines on a 5x10 grid using different shapes. It is in the puzzle genre of video games and is very popular.(This game has already been made, and I am just remaking it.)
I will mostly be remaking the game that has already been made, but I might add some things that the original game does not have.
Functions
My product/game will be used for entertainment and enjoyment. Since I am making a game that has already been made, I will need to try and make it different to the original. I could do this visually and make the game look different, or make a feature that the original game does not have.
