Project Proposal

Yarrr,
The basic overview of our project has a similar feel to the original Super Mario Brothers game or a more modern game, Fun Run; a side-scroller with the basic commands of jumping and running left or right. Our game will take place on a badly damaged ship.  At the main menu, the user will select a character (one of four pirate cats). Your mission at hand is to get to the other side of the ship to save it from sinking. What we hope to do is have coins available to collect as the user travels across the ship. The coins will award the user more time to save the day.

The four different characters will be made by each of our group members. Since we have four people in our group we will all design one of the characters. They could possible evolve into something other than cats but our main characters will certainly be members of our feline crew. Like Mario, our character will have a simple order from the user: run and jump. By using the arrow keys and the space bar, the characters will be able to save the sinking ship.

Our game will be on a sinking ship therefore, our characters will be running through a maze of broken ship parts, barrels, fallen wood, fires, ect. In the background will be a tropical environment that includes the sky, waves and possibly birds.
