Game pitch for final project.

1. HUMANITY’S LAST
STAND
PROJECT IDEA BY ALEXANDER WEEKS
“CAN YOU DEFEND HUMANITY'S LAST HOME FROM THE
ENDLESS HORDE?”

2. What is Humanity’s Last Stand?
Humanity’s Last Stand is a 3D Sci-Fi endless defense where the
player must defend humanity’s last planet from wave after wave of
an ever growing alien presence.

3. Similarities Differences
Defendable object,
deploying
automated towers,
and successive
waves of enemies
3D perspective and
the addition of the
player character to
determine defense
strategy
Endless Defense is
the core game mode
with a spaceship
controlled by the
player character
The structure of the
Endless Defense
game mode
Games
2D Tower Defense
Games
Games with
secondary Endless
Defense game
modes

4. One planet
to defend.
One ship
to defend with.
Enemy scouting
force to defend
against.
How long can you
defend the planet?
Starting with
One Repeating
Defense.
Five Bosses to
Unlock.
Hours of Game
Play.
One leader board
to top.

5. Artistic Direction
Think Battlestar Galactica
One ship to defend what is left of
Humanity, a civilian fleet.
Now think of Our Game
One ship to defend Humanity’s
last home.

In Between waves the
player can deploy a

the player

16. Risks
The biggest risk for this game is in acquiring
enough Art Assets (3D Models & Textures) for
the spaceships, space station, and spawn gate.
Maintaining the player’s interest over hours of
gameplay in a repetitive defense.
