The document outlines initial plans for a rogue-lite game including top-down or side view camera, quick tactical combat inspired by Divinity: Original Sin 2 but sped up, three main weapon types of melee, ranged and magic, elemental combos, and a time slow effect for projectiles. The player will choose from one of three starting characters with different bonuses before entering darker colored areas in the dungeon.

Magic
Gameplay
The game would start with
warm colours but as the player
goes from area to area the
colours will get darker
Before entering the
dungeon the player will
pick from three
characters all who have
different bonuses.
More characters could
be added later as dlc
Mage: Stronger
magic
Knight: Stronger
Melee
Ranger: Stronger
Range
The combat is
heavily inspired
by ”Divinity
Original Sin 2”
however it will
be significantly
sped up to work
in a rogue-lite
format
All characters can
use all weapon
types Similar to Divinity my
game will have an
action point system as
it is a good way to
balance combat
however basic
movement won’t cost
ap and it will
regenerate over time
as it isn’t turn based.
5. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• The pictures I have collected share red as a commonly used
colour, red has connotations of danger, action and violence
which is probably why it was chosen for these games.
• The pictures I have collected also share orange as a colour,
the orange is used predominantly to convey action in these
instances as it invokes images of explosions and can be
used to connotate strength
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• I will pay more attention to the colours I am using to make
the game more accessible.
