GAME OVERVIEW
HIGH CONCEPT
What goes around, comes around Gravitos is a top down 3D space shooter game where the player gathers satellites and asteroids in space to defend from and kill enemies while achieving mission-based objectives, such as defending planets from invaders. The player controls the Gravitron, an outer-space bathysphere that snags smaller objects in its gravity field. These satellites start orbiting and the more satellites the player has the better sheltered the Gravitron is from enemies.
PHILOSOPHY
"WHAT IS THAT?"
Our goal is to make the player say, "What is that?" when they first see our game. We want to take something very familiar and overdone like outer space and toss out the clich realistic gameplay and look. Making the player launch asteroids is a good start, but then we want the entire game world to be a combination of abstract and space. The player and enemies are stylized shapes that progress to planets and suns that have a bit more realism then to the realistic space background. The planets have large mountains or even buildings that sprout out into space. The game utilizes many post-processing effects in Unity 3D to gain its unique look.
FEEL THE POWER

We want the player to feel very powerful in the game. The whole idea of having an asteroid belt orbiting you that serves as a weapon and shield is very empowering. The more asteroids the player has the more visual feedback that they are getting stronger and stronger. Showing that progress from starting out as a defenseless ship in space and then becoming an ultimate weapon is very important.
TIP OF THE ICEBERG

We'll make Gravitos seem like a simple shooter on the surface, but then have many underlying strategies that give the game depth. This makes the game easy to learn, but hard to master. This is done by giving the player a lot of different options and methods to perform actions in the game. The simple action of launching a satellite has a lot of considerations that the player has to take. Considerations like their chances of hitting an enemy, if the asteroid would be more useful as a defense, are there any other asteroids nearby, or would it be easier to whack the enemy with the asteroid in the player's orbit.

COMMON QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THE GAME?
Gravitos is a top down 3D space shooter game with elements of strategy, growth and exploration. The player controls a Gravitron, which is a space bathysphere that attracts asteroids and satellites to it. Once the player gets an asteroid into his orbit path, the asteroid will then orbit the player until the asteroid is destroyed, or shot out as a projectile. The player dynamically uses the orbiting satellites to shoot at enemies or use as a shield. The orbit speed can be charged up to be really fast for a higher chance of blocking attacks. On the contrary, it is much harder to aim and shoot with the asteroids spinning fast. The player's goal is to defend planets from enemies, destroy enemy bases, and to level their Gravitron to the max.
WHAT DO I CONTROL/ WHO AM I?

The player controls a Gravitron, which is an outer space bathysphere. The Gravitron takes asteroids and other satellites into its orbit, then can shoot them out as a weapon. The player sees the Gravitron from a top-down perspective. The player can only travel on a 2D plane.
WHAT IS THE PREMISE/STORY?

The player is an intergalactic space ranger that prevents stray asteroids from colliding into its civilizations planet. The ranger drives an ancient Gravitron model made out of wood and runs on coal. The ranger always dreamed of having a shiny new Gravitron, but all the funding goes to the military. One day, the ranger encounters invading aliens and has no choice but to try to stop them, since the military is on strike.
WHERE DOES THE GAME TAKE PLACE?

The game takes place in a solar system with a sun and a few main planets. The player can encounter asteroid fields and enemy bases. Nebulas and stars are seen in the background.
WHAT ARE THE GOALS/OBJECTIVES OF THE GAME?

Long Term - Complete mission-based objectives such as collecting specific satellites and destroying specific targets, upgrade/level the Gravitron's technology to increase max satellites. Mid Term - Find planets and asteroid fields, strengthen the planet's orbit (by increasing satellites) and keep energy levels high. Short Term - Collect satellites, shoot satellites at enemies, avoid bomb satellites and find energy.
WHAT IS THE MAIN FOCUS?

The main focus is collecting satellites to have a powerful defensive shield and use them as weapons. Bernard H, Jack N, Darryl S Page | 8 Gravitos 10/11/2010
WHATS DIFFERENT?
Shooting Asteroids! The main difference in Gravitos compared to other shooters is that the player uses asteroids as his weapon and defense. The asteroids are the player's bullets, but they are much larger and more powerful than a regular bullet. The player also has to constantly have a steady supply of asteroids to use, so you have to be a conservative shooter. You call this space? The overall space setting in Gravitos is an abstract "indie" fresh style. This style also matches the crazy gameplay of shooting asteroids at your foes.
WHAT IS A SATELLITE?
A satellite is anything that orbits the player's Gravitron. This includes asteroids, mines and "satellite-like machines.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
The following is a list of the game's features listed in order of priority. The section below gives more details for each feature. Words in bold and italic will link to the described category. Words or numbers with [brackets] around them means that the variable represented by the word or number, have to be changeable.
COLLECT SATELLITES AND ASTEROIDS

The player will get more powerful by collecting satellites and asteroids. The Gravitron attracts them once they reach a certain range. When a satellite meets the players orbit path, it starts to orbit the Gravitron. Satellites keep orbiting until they are destroyed, taken away by other gravities, or shot away from the player. The satellites and asteroids that orbit the Gravitron have a variety of uses. Asteroids are the most common satellites, and are used for both defense and offense. Technological satellites can provide immediate defense in the form of laser cannons, improve the player's gravitational abilities, and grant speed bonuses. It's not all good in outer space though, as some asteroids and tech satellites harm the player by causing damage over time or slowing effects.
LAUNCHING SATELLITES
The player uses satellites as projectile weapons. The player aims by rotating the mouse around the Gravitron (it can be shot in any direction). The trajectory of the shot depends on player skill and accuracy. If the player clicks dead on, the shot is perfectly straight. If the player is a little too late or early, the direction angles to the sides. The velocity of the shot depends on the level of upgrades the player has.
CONTROL ORBIT SPEED

The player is able to control the orbit speed of the satellites. Controlling the speed is used as a defense mechanism where incoming enemies and objects have a higher chance to hit an orbital instead of the Gravitron. While the orbit speed is fast, it is harder for the player to shoot out the asteroid they want. The player uses the scroll wheel to raise and lower the orbit speed.
UPGRADE GRAVITRON TECHNOLOGY

The player is able to upgrade the max amount of satellites that they hold. The player achieves this by receiving special items that drops from the enemies, from finding the items floating around the map or by completing an objective in the game. When the Gravitron upgrades, they also receive a core satellite (see next feature). Bernard H, Jack N, Darryl S Page | 10 Gravitos 10/11/2010
THREE "CORE" SATELLITES

The player has an inner and outer orbit. The inner orbit holds three core satellites that give the player bonus abilities. The three bonus abilities are faster Gravitron movement speed, higher velocity launch and shields. The player chooses what ability that they want to focus on and can dynamically change their status for the situation. The player starts out with one of these cores and then gains the other two from upgrading the Gravitron technology.
MAP VIEW
The player can zoom out to see more of the worlds surrounding him or zoom to a close default view. When the player zooms out, the game pauses and some features of the level will disappear from the player's view, such as enemy units and bases.

FEATURE DETAILS
The following are the fine details of all the features in the game, listed in order of priority. For measurements, the Gravitron has a radius of [1] units.
COLLECT SATELLITES AND ASTEROIDS

The main action the player performs is collecting asteroids and satellites. This is done by: 1. Making sure the object is not moving faster than the possible orbit speed 2. Getting objects close enough to the Gravitron's orbit path so that they will be collected into the Gravitron's orbit. The satellites keep orbiting until they are destroyed, the player shoots them or when they're pulled away by a larger gravitational force.
SATELLITE ACTIONS
SATELLITE ATTRACTION Asteroids and satellites are at first, attracted to the player from the gravitational pull of the Gravitron. Attraction stars off slow when the asteroid is far away from the Gravitron and speeds up as it gets closer. The Gravitrons force and the force of objects that are in range are calculated (Mass*Velocity). If the Gravitrons force is more than the objects force, then the Gravitron will capture that object in its orbit. The Gravitons orbit can only hold the max amount of satellites; if the orbit is already full, objects will not get captured in the orbit even if the Gravitrons orbits force is higher than the objects. Variable Mass Attraction Acceleration Description The Gravitron has a mass of [1] Base acceleration of [2 units per second] for objects attracted to the Gravitron The closer the object is to the Gravitron, the faster the object accelerates This is calculated by acceleration divided by distance
Attraction Radius The radius for when objects start to get attracted is [5 units] larger than the radius Slowdown Attraction Increase When the object is out of attraction range, it starts to slow down at a rate of [2 u/s] When the Spin ability is being used, the Gravitron's attraction radius multiplies by [1.25u] Page | 16 Gravitos 10/11/2010
SATELLITE ORBIT When the satellites reach the Gravitron's orbit path, they start to orbit the Gravitron. The player has to be careful to align satellites in the orbit path, if they collide, they will be damaged or even explode. The game plays an electronic charge SFX when the player catches a satellite. Variable Orbit Radius Orbit Velocity Description The Gravitron has an orbit radius of [6 units] Base orbit velocity is [1 unit per second] (the player can alter this variable in Control Orbit Speed) The player can hold a max amount of [8] satellites at level 1 Upgrading the Gravitron Technology will increase this number When the player has too many satellites, the incoming satellite just floats by the player and it can still collide with the orbiting satellites. This also affects the player's gravitational pull. When satellites are maxed, the player has no gravitational pull.
Max Satellites
See Upgrade Gravitron Technology to see more information Satellite Collision Satellites can collide and damage each other in the orbit, therefore the player has to carefully position each satellite Satellite collision in the orbit acts the same as satellite collision out of orbit. See each satellite description for this information.
ATTACKING WITH ORBIT

The player can get close to enemies and allow the orbiting satellites to whack them then damage or kill them. Whacking instead of shooting gives the advantage of not missing your shot. However, it gives a disadvantage of the player having to get close to his enemies. The whacking damage takes the Damaged Caused from the satellite and adds the velocity to the damage just like any other collision situation.
Page | 17 Gravitos
10/11/2010
SPEED INDICATOR
The player can tell if the satellite is able to be captured by the color of the glow trail behind it. When there is no glow, the player can capture the satellite by simply moving next to it. When the glow behind a satellite is bright yellow, the player can capture it but only when if the orbit speed it increased. When the glow behind a satellite is red, the player can't capture it and the satellite will pass through the orbit.
Page | 18 Gravitos
10/11/2010
SATELLITE TYPES
Different satellites have different speed, damage and special abilities. Most satellites dont have a gravitational pull like the player or planets. ASTEROIDS Asteroids are the most common type of satellite the player can get. Objects can collide with asteroids in which both colliding objects take damage. Then pieces fall off the asteroid, causing the asteroid to shrink in size. The pieces that fall off are particle effects that disappear after [5] seconds.
Variable Mass
Description Even though asteroids have a Mass, they dont attract any objects like the Gravitron The asteroid mass varies from [1 to 3] reflecting the health and size
Damage Health
The asteroid causes damage based on velocity TBD The asteroid has a health of [0 to 20] The health is randomized to get small, medium and large asteroids
After getting damaged its size decreases based on its total health Size The size has 3 levels of size depending on the health of the asteroid Directional Movement Health above 14 means the asteroid is at level 3 size (maximum size) Health above 5, below 14 means the asteroid is at level 2 size (moderate size) Health below 5 means the asteroid is at level 1 size (minimum size)
Asteroids in a belt have a pre-scripted movement based on the level design Single asteroids have a random direction picked and theyll follow that direction until the end of the level Asteroids move at [2 units/second] (unless being attracted)

Danger Priority

ROCKET DEFENSE SATELLITE Rocket Defense Satellites play both offensive and defensives roles. When the player is in range of the RDS, it will fire homing rockets at the player. If the player manages to capture a RDS in his orbit, the RDS will then fire rockets at the player's enemies. The RDS is producible by the Space Station. The RDS reads the incoming object's danger priority and fires at the most dangerous object first. When the Rocket Defense Satellite is shot out from the Gravitron's orbit, the Rocket Defense Satellite turns into a deadly warhead that can do massive damage and pierce kinetic shields. The RDS plays a charging animation and sound before firing off its payload.
Variable Mass Health Size Attack Speed Sight Range (Enemy) Sight Range (Friendly) Alt Mode Speed Accel. Alt Mode Speed Max
Description The RDS mass is [5] The RDS has a health of [12] The RDS has a radius of [4 units] The RDS fires [2 rockets] every [3 seconds] The RDS sight range when an enemy is [15 units] radius sphere.

Alt Mode Damage Danger Priority
The Alt Mode deals impact damage of [50] The Alt Mode depletes any Kinetic Shields on impact [0]
ROCKET Rockets have two states, one where the rocket's thrusters are on and one where they are off. The thrusters turn off after a period of time after the initial fire; when the thrusters are off the rocket will move at a slower velocity. Rockets have their own mass and can be captured in an orbit. Rockets have two separate animations, one when the thruster is on and one when it is off.

Copyright 2010 Vancouver Film School All rights reserved BLACKHOLE EMULATOR Black hole emulators create the same effects of a mini black hole. Once a BHE is in a planets orbit, it will attract all nearby objects. The BHE does not destroy objects, only attracts them. When the black hole emulator is shot out by the Gravitron, the black holes effects will invert, blasting things away from the black hole emulator. The BHE initiates self-destruction after being shot by the Gravitron. Black hole Emulators are constantly emitting particles.

10/11/2010
LAUNCHING SATELLITES
The player can launch any satellite orbiting the Gravitron. The player aims the projectile using a crosshair that is locked in the Gravitron's orbit path. The direction of the aimer always points out from the center of the Gravitron. The player can shoot only where the satellite is, so if there is an enemy behind the player, they need a satellite orbiting behind the player.
LAUNCHING CONTROLS
Control (PC): The player holds the Right Mouse Button to pull up the crosshair, then aims by moving the mouse in circles around the Gravitron. Then to shoot, the player clicks the Left Mouse Button. Control (Xbox): The player holds the Left Trigger to pull up the crosshair, then aims with the right analogue stick. Then the player shoots with the right trigger button.
PROJECTILE STATISTICS
Variable Accuracy Description The angle of the hit is determined by where the player hits the orbital. Using 3 different hit boxes around the satellite. Hit in center (blue) goes straight (0) Hit on the left (green) tilts right [30] Hit on the right (green) tilts left [-30]
Larger satellites have larger hit boxes. So larger satellites are easier to hit. Velocity The default velocity is [40] The default velocity changes as the player gets more cores
The launched object keeps going at the set velocity until it hits something. Damage The damage of the satellite depends on what type is launched and the velocity it was launched at, adding the base damage from the sat with the launched velocity.
Page | 23 Gravitos
10/11/2010
AIMING ART AND SFX

The Graviton has a long bright laser that points in the direction the Gravitron will fire it's energy beam. This Laser is similar to a gun's laser sights.
LAUNCHING ART AND SFX

Phase 1: The launch has a quick energy beam that lasts for [1] second. The beam is made from particle effects and transparent planes. Phase 2: The beam also causes a warping effect in the surrounding area, similar to the movie Predator. The SFX of the launch is a laser sound, with gritty smashing impact sound. As the player is charging, the Gravitron makes a laser sound rising in pitch.
Page | 24 Gravitos
10/11/2010
CONTROL ORBIT SPEED

The player is able to speed up the orbit speed in the game. The fast speed is the player's defense and allows the player to collect satellites in their orbit. While the slower speed allows the player to get an accurate shot at their enemies and not rely on luck. The player will have 3 levels of speed at the start of the game. As the player upgrades the Gravitron to the next levels, he will gain up to 5 speed levels (level 4 and 5 being faster than level 3).
ORBIT CONTROLS
Control (PC): The player raises the orbit speed by holding the right mouse button. The player lowers the orbit speed by letting go of the mouse button. Control (Xbox): The player raises the orbit speed by pressing the right bumper and slows the speed by pressing the left bumper.
ORBIT STATISTICS
Variable Default Velocity Top Velocity 1 Top Velocity 2 Top Velocity 3 Velocity Level Trans. Time Description The default orbit speed is [40] The first orbit speed is [60] The third orbit speed is [80] The fourth orbit is [100] It takes [3] seconds to accelerate or decelerate to a top velocity speed from the Default velocity
ORBIT SPEED & COLLECTING SATELLITES

The player can collect satellites easier while the orbit speed is high. The reason for this is satellites at a higher speed than the orbit speed can overpower the orbit. When the orbit speed is higher than the incoming satellite's speed, the Gravitron can capture it. CAPTURING CALCULATION If the (mass of Graviton * orbit speed) > (mass of incoming object * velocity), the capture will succeed. Bernard H, Jack N, Darryl S Page | 25 Gravitos 10/11/2010
UPGRADE GRAVITRON TECHNOLOGY

The player has three phases to his Gravitron, each increasing the total amount of satellites the player can have orbiting and giving them a Core Satellite to orbit around the Gravitron.
UPGRADING & TECHNOLOGY POINTS

The player can upgrade the Gravitron when he gains enough technology points to go to the next level. Once the player receives enough, the Gravitron automatically upgrades. The player gets technology points from dropped tech by enemies after the player damages or defeats them floating around the map completing small objectives in the level Description Technology 1 gives [1] technology point to the player. [50%] chance that tech found on map is tech 1 [75%] chance that tech dropped from damaging enemies is tech 1
Variable Technology Grade
Technology 2 gives [2] technology points to the player. [35%] chance that tech found on map is tech 2 [20%] chance that tech dropped from damaging enemies is tech 2
Technology 3 gives [5] technology points to the player. Technology Quantity [15%] chance that tech found on map is tech 3 [5%] chance that tech dropped from damaging enemies is tech 3 [100%] chance that tech dropped from killing enemies is tech 3
Completing quests gives the player [50] technology points. This has no grade, and is automatically added to the player. Defeating enemies gives various technology quantities in the tech 3 grade depending on the enemy. See Enemies and Obstacles for that information. The player has to pick up this tech.
Technology Requirements
To upgrade to the 2nd Phase, the player has to gain [100] tech points To upgrade to the 3rd Phase, the player has to gain [150] tech points The tech points reset to 0 after the player upgrades Page | 26 Gravitos 10/11/2010
Technology Movement
Technology floats at a speed of [5 units per second] When enemies drop technology, it scatters in a random direction moving at this speed
TECHNOLOGY GAUGE The player's current technology point amount is displayed on the Gravitron as a gauge. When the player gets more technology, the gauge raises. <See HUD/On Screen Displays for the tech gauge> TECHNOLOGY ART AND SFX Technology floating around looks like metal space junk. When the player contacts the technology, it goes into the player's Gravitron while flashing white and disappearing. The 3 grades of technology use the same model, but a different color scheme. Technology 1 has a dull green color Technology 2 has a brighter, teal appearance Technology 3 has a bright lime green color SFX Light metal ping sound. Similar to when Sonic the Hedgehog drops coins from getting hit. Sucking in whoosh sound, followed by a ding
Situation Tech dropped from enemies (by damaging or defeating) Tech Captured

UPGRADING ART AND SFX

When the player upgrades, the Gravitron bursts out a ring of green energy. After, the new model replaces the Gravitron. The new core also flashes in white, to show the new addition to the Gravitron. A short 3 second tune or ring is played as the Gravitron upgrades.

THREE "CORE" SATELLITES

When the players Gravitron upgrades, he receives a core satellite along with the Gravitron upgrade. The player gets a total of three core satellites that orbit around the Gravitron (shown in diagram). These satellites give the player 3 different bonus abilities: 1. Higher Shoot Velocity 2. Faster Gravitron Movement Speed 3. Shields The player chooses what ability to set the Graviton to use and then gets the bonus stats. The abilities require energy to use, once the player runs out of energy, the cores turn off. When cores are hit, the player takes damage. Every level, the player starts with one core (with an exception to the Tutorial level).
CONTROLS
Control (PC): The player switches what ability to use by 1,2,3 or the scroll wheel. The player presses space or the middle mouse button to turn it on, pressing again will turn it off. Control (Xbox): The player chooses what ability to use by pressing X for velocity, A for faster movement and B for healing. Pressing any of the buttons turns the cores on. Pressing the same button again, turns them off.
ENERGY
The player has a limited amount of energy that always refills unless a core is turned on. When the player is out of energy, the Gravitron makes an electronic "shut down" SFX. Variable Total Energy Starting Energy Gaining Energy Description The Gravitron stores [100] energy. The player starts out with [100] energy. The player gains energy automatically at a rate of [2 per second]

10/11/2010
USING ABILITIES
The player turns the cores on by holding the mouse. The player first needs a core to use the abilities. Gaining more cores make that ability stronger while using the same amount of energy. SHOOT VELOCITY Whenever the player launches a satellite, it pushes the satellite with a force. Energy drains only when the player launches a satellite while the cores are active. When the cores are active, the player does not have to charge the cores, they instantly shoot at the higher velocity. Variable Velocity Increase 1 Velocity Increase 2 Description Object gets a velocity of [50] while active Object gets a velocity of [60] while active While not active, the regular shoot velocity is [45] Velocity Increase 3 Object gets a velocity of [70] While not active, the regular shoot velocity is [50] Energy Drained Energy is drained at a rate of [5 energy/second]
Visuals: The color of the cores change to red when they are in velocity mode and also have an asteroid symbol. In a later development phase, the cores have small, straight, energy beams shooting out of them. SFX: Each shot makes a deeper, fuller sound compared to the regular shot. Same sound used as when the player shoots a charged shot.

Copyright 2010 Vancouver Film School All rights reserved MOVEMENT SPEED The whole Gravitron moves faster, so the player can charge or flee form enemies. Energy constantly drains while moving. Variable Speed Increase 1 Speed Increase 2 Speed Increase 3 Energy Drained Description The player gets a bonus speed of [4] The player gets a bonus speed of [8] The player gets a bonus speed of [12] The ability drains at [5 energy/second]
Visuals: The color of the cores change to yellow when they are in speed mode and also have an arrow symbol. In a later development phase, the cores have spinning wind effects around them. SFX: While the player moves, the Gravitron sounds more like a jet engine. SHIELDS The player can shield the Gravitron, blocking all damage, energy drains while the shields are on. Each of the 3 cores have a shield centered on them, each covering 1/3 of the Gravitron. As the player gets more cores, the shields will cover more of the Gravitron. The shields spin around the Gravitron with the cores spinning around. In the diagram to the right, the shield is the light-blue arc shape, centered on the core at the top. The shield is locked around that core as it orbits the Gravitron. When the player gets another core, it too will have a shield and both will cover 2/3 of the Gravitron. Variable Shields 1 Shields 2 Shields 3 Description The player gets a shield that covers 1/3 of the Gravitron he player gets a shield that covers 1/3 of the Gravitron he player gets a shield that covers 1/3 of the Gravitron

MAP VIEW
The player has 2 zoom levels in the game. 1. Default/Regular zoom is a good balance for the player to see the Gravitron and surrounding enemies. 2. Far zoom lets the player see the surrounding planets and asteroids. (Solar System) The game pauses when the player is in map view.
CONTROLS
Control (PC): The player presses TAB to go to map view. Control (Xbox): The player presses up on the D-Pad to zoom in a level and down on the D-Pad to zoom out a level.
TRANSITIONS
The transitions from the different zoom levels are simply moving the camera closer and farther away from the player. It takes [1] second for the camera to transition to the next zoom level The SFX from zooming in and out is an ambient wind sucking in and out sound. In the farthest zoom level, all SFX goes quieter (including the music) to show that the player is far away.
ZOOM LEVELS
REGULAR/DEFAULT Regular zoom gives the player enough detail in the Gravitron and is far enough for the player to see enemies and other objects in the world. The image on the right shows how far the Gravitron will be.

ENEMIES AND OBSTACLES

ENEMIES
SPACE STATION
Space Stations are the player main enemy. Stations do not move, instead they produce satellites or invaders to do their fighting for them. Space stations have their own orbit where they place their satellites in. Space stations have a tech limit to how many operational satellites they can have at one time. Space stations have kinetic shields that will absorb the first impacts. Space Stations fire off its offensive satellites, with a set velocity at the player. Space stations have two tiers. The top tier has more health, more kinetic shields, and a larger tech limit. Space Stations emit a humming sound when the player is in range. Space Stations have a rotating middle. TIER 1 Variable Mass Health Kinetic Shields Size Production Rate Tech Limit Orbit Velocity Fire Propulsion Sight Range Description Space Station Tier 1 has a mass of [4] Space Station Tier 1 has a health of [40] Space Station Tier 1 has shield of [20] Space Station Tier 1 has dimensions of [30]x[45] Space Station Tier 1 produce 1 every [3.5] seconds Space Station Tier 1 can produce a max of[14]units Space Station Tier 1 has a velocity of [50]units/second Space Station Tier 1 fires objects from its orbit at a force of [20]f Space Station Tier 1 can see the player in a [45] Radius Page | 40 Gravitos 10/11/2010

INVADERS
Invaders are harmful space ships that will try and impact the graviton for damage. They travel in swarms and have a zombie mentality. They are only produced from the Space Stations. They are small and have low health. They count as half a unit in terms of a Space Stations tech limit. They will be idle if they do not have the Gravitron in their sight range. If the Invader does spot the Gravitron it will pursue it at its first movement speed as long as the Gravitron stays in the invader's sight range. The invader's will jump in speed if they have the gravitron in their sight long enough. If the Invader gets close enough to the Gravitron it will activate it's overdrive. Invaders have a flying animation when they are flying to a point. Variable Health Sight Range Invaded Range Movement Speed Jump Max Movement Speed Overdrive Movement Speed Acceleration Mass Size Danger Priority Description Invaders have a health of [6] Invaders can see the player in a [25]unit Radius Invader will activate secondary boosters at a [5]unit radius Invader increases[3] units/second

Copyright 2010 Vancouver Film School All rights reserved SPACE MINE Space mines are dangerous satellites that can be found floating around a solar system, just like asteroids. Mines explode on contact, which includes the player shooting it and bumping into it. When mines are touched at a low velocity, they have a detonation time. When they are hit at a high velocity, they explode. When the mine is detonated, a red light on it blinks on and off. It also makes a siren SFX, similar to when your health is low in Littlebigplanet. Variable Health Damage Explosion Radius Explosion Threshold Detonation Time Activation Range Mass Size Danger Priority Description The mine has a health of [10] The mine is calculated by [((1/Distance from Space Mine)*10)] The explosion damage has a radius of [9 units] The mine will automatically explode if it's hit at a velocity greater than [20 units/second] When the mine is touched, it'll detonate after [4] seconds When the player is in range, the mine will move towards the player just like Asteroids Even though mines have a Mass, they dont attract any objects like the Gravitron The mine mass is [4] The mine has a radius of [3 units] [2]

Copyright 2010 Vancouver Film School All rights reserved LASER PROBE Laser probes satellites are enemy satellites that the player does not want in his orbit. They are often produced by Space Stations or left to patrol in deep space. When laser probes gets into the player's orbit, they will fire upon the player in timed intervals. Laser probes will fire on planets if the probes manage to get in the planet's orbit. Probes play charging animations and sounds before firing their laser. Their color tweens to a bright red before they are about to fire. Lasers are short lasting beams that are fired from the cannon of the probe to the target. Variable Health Damage Attack Speed Sight Range Attack Range Movement Speed Mass Size Danger Priority Description The probe has a health of [25] The probe causes [20] damage on fire The probe fires every [2 seconds] Probes can only see the Gravitron if it is in a [10] radius Probe can only fire when in an orbit Probes move at [10 units/second]

WALKTHROUGH The player is tasked with providing defense satellites for Objectives A and B. The player is first given the objective to help Objective A. The player should grab asteroids when going to assault Enemy X. When Enemy X sends his invaders at the player, they can use their asteroids to defeat the invaders. This allows objective A to then safely use the space mines north of Enemy X to destroy Enemy X. The player then returns to Objective A who is now producing BlackHole Emulators. The player can take these BlackHole Emulators which will aid the player in taking on Enemy Y. The Player can either make his way through the minefield or take on the laser probes to get to Enemy Y. Players can make quick work of Enemy Y is they use the laser probes against Enemy Y and use the BlackHole Emulators to defend from rocket fire. Once enemy Y is defeated, the player must deliver the rocket defense satellites to Objective B before time runs out. Once both objectives are properly defended, the level ends and the player wins.

MUSICAL SCORES AND SOUND EFFECTS

The overall sound of the game should complement the abstract visual style. The music and SFX will be electronic in style, while giving a sci-fi feel.
SOUND DESIGN
These links will provide help on using unity's audio engine. http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Manual/Sound.html http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?p=91715&sid=64a2ed9c405910bb17c46fe31b7a7e16
SFX
The SFX uses synthesizer sounds more than actual audio samples. This will add to the abstract, electronic feel that the game has. The SFX will match the music in the game. An example is for booster movement, it'll use an electronic hum sound instead of an engine sound.
VOICE-OVER
The voices in the game are alien sounds recorded from people with effects like reversing to make the voice different. The player won't know what the voices are saying; it'll sound like another language.
MUSIC
The music has a laid back electronic sound, a blend of house or trance music. The song gives an otherworldly feel. Some SFX also ties into the music beat.

"HUD/ON SCREEN DISPLAYS APPENDIX

The in game HUD is simple and clean. All HUD elements are around the Gravitron, so that the player doesnt have to look away from the point of interest. The HUD is transparent and becomes more transparent when the information is not needed. The left red half of the circle is the player's health. When the player takes damage the bar lowers from the top and becomes more opaque for 5 seconds. The blue right half of the circle is the player's energy. When the player uses the "core" abilities, the energy bar drains from the top and also becomes more opaque as energy is draining. The small inner yellow circle is the player's technology. The bar starts out as a dark yellow and fills with yellow clockwise, as the player gets more technology. When the player upgrades the bar resets. When the player is at the max level, the bar disappears.

FEATURES TO COMPLETE AFTER GRADUATION

GRAVITY OF OTHER OBJECTS
The entire level orbits around the sun. When the player stops trusting, the Gravitron starts to orbit around the sun. If the Gravitron is at a higher tech level, the player has more movement freedom. At lower tech levels, the Gravitron feels more constraint to the suns orbit field. The first diagram shows the player using his thrusters and thrusting in the arrowed direction. The small circle shows where the Gravitron ended up. The second diagram shows the player letting go of the thrusts and letting force move it along in space. It follows the orbit path more directly. Variable Phase 1 Constraint Description The player has a [15%] constraint while moving The player has a [80%] constraint while idling The player has a [10%] constraint while moving The player has a [50%] constraint while idling The player has a [0%] constraint while moving The player has a [20%] constraint while idling

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
BLACK HOLES Black Holes start to suck the player inside of them. If the player gets sucked in, he instantly dies. Other objects, besides the player are also sucked into the black hole. The black hole has a deep hum SFX. Variable Size Pull Radius Description The black hole is [36] units in diameter The black hole pulls the player in similar to the Gravitron pulling in asteroids The pull distance is [20] units from the outside edge of the black hole Damage The player takes [1000] damage (instant death) when sucked in a black hole
COMETS Comets have a long orbit around the sun. The player has to keep track of the comet's path and avoid it to be safe. Comets make an incoming missile SFX. Variable Size Velocity Damage Description The comet is [10] units in diameter (same as Gravitron size) The comets move at a speed of [10 units/second] The player takes [80] damage when hit by a comet

LEVEL 2: SPACE INVASION

Dimensions: 550 units x 450 units Intended Playtime: 3 Minutes Scenario: The Enemy Space Station is initiating a two stage invasion on the Objective Planet. At stage 1, the Enemy Station produces invaders that travel to Planets A and B to receive Troops. The Invaders will then travel to the Objective planet. Planet C has agreed to help the Objective Planet by destroying the Enemy Station, but it will take Planet C a near full revolution to produce Rocket Defense Satellites and get in range of the enemy station. When Planet C reaches a point in its orbit where it can fire at the Enemy freely, the Objective will be saved. Mission Objectives: 3. Keep Objective Intact for 1 minute and 30 seconds 4. Survive until Planet C is in range and destroys the Enemy Mission Objectives: 2. [125]xp Mission Failure: If [16] invaders land on Objective Planet. Page | 80 Gravitos 10/11/2010
