THE APPLICATION

The concept behind my application will be “Being A Malayan Tiger”. In line with this, the player will have the chance to control and watch the growth of a tiger which he or she chooses during the start of the game.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the game will be to ensure that the tiger survives and lives to a full mature age while avoiding various dangers and surviving the wilderness.

GAME PLAY

The player shall use keyboard as well as mouse controls to move the tiger to various locations while the screen and speakers will be used to project output in line with the various inputs provided.

GAME FLOW

The introduction screen will introduce the player to the game and give the player various instructions and the objective of the game. After this, the player gets to choose the kind of tiger that he/she wants be it male, female and the player gets to name his/her tiger.

After naming the tiger, a video is played about the life and habitats of the tiger along with its behavior, the food it eats and the dangers that threaten it. After this, the player will go through a tutorial that will teach the various keyboard commands for moving the tiger, making him eat/sleep/run/attack. After this, the player gets into the main game in which he is introduced to his tiger that has just been left by his mom to fend for himself.

After this, the player will be required to find food, shelter, and water for the tiger. Later on in the game, the player will be required to avoid poachers, other predators, geographical dangers such as holes and valleys. In the challenge stage, the tiger is stuck in a tiger trap and it is up to the player to free the tiger by answering some factual questions about tigers. If the questions aren’t answered on time, the tiger dies.

After going through all this successfully, the player will be required to find a mate for the tiger. After getting the mate, he will be required to mate and raise the offspring up to the point where they can fend for themselves.

When he reaches a mature fruitful age, the tiger dies in peace but his/her offspring remain to carry on his legacy.

CHALLENGES

The main challenge will be to design and code the game to ensure that it looks realistic enough yet workable. I will have to design the props, the tiger and to model them and ensure that the interactivity works and that the coding, if any, works correctly.

The second challenge will be the time constraint. I have to submit the project punctually and on time.

The third challenge will be to ensure that the information meant to be passed across is conveyed as well as possible.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This application will be suitable to children from the age of 12 up to adults into their fifties. The information will be clear enough for the children to understand yet informing enough to keep the adults happy. Gameplay will also be suited to the above demographic.
