- 15. The Project (The goodstuff!)
- 16. Elevator Pitch “A card game where you buy, repair and steal robot parts, to build your own pilotable robot. You then pit your robot against 3 others in a final showdown to see who wins the robot tournament.”
- 17. Narrative The year is 2150, and robotic drones have become a widespread pop culture commodity. Among their more widely known roles in society, these drones are used as combatants in the GearBrawl, a tournament waged between controlled drones, outfitted with various accessories and performance-enhancing parts. With these modifications, these drones are made to fight in a four man free-for-all death-match. You, as a prospective competitor in these games, are given a base framework to use to your heart's content. How you accessorize and improve this base it up to you – will you do odd jobs to obtain guaranteed, top-of-the-line parts? Or will you commit to salvaging through scrapheaps to find, tweak and adjust parts to make them truly yours? Maybe stealing will be your best plan of action – why put forth more effort to find parts yourself when your opponents can do it for you? All options are on the table, with only one goal in sight – to have the best fighting drone and come out on top!
- 18. Setting Robots areused for multiple things, but mainly sport Not a huge leap into the future, but clear distinction between now and “Blade Runner” (Year 2040- 2110?) Brightly-designed future, not very bleak and ridden with decline (See Image)
- 19. Card Game Rules Players draw each turn, picking up cards from the pile (these cards represent parts) Any card type can represent a part – some cards work better with others, and same suits are encouraged! 6 cards all together equal your robot/hand – The 5 parts to the robot, and its weapon Players take turns attacking each other‟s robots, last one standing wins!
- 20. Robot Card Concept 5/6 main parts to Robots: Head, Arms (L Arm and R Arm are separate), Torso, Legs, and Weapon Parts can have HP, DEF, or SPD; some have ATK values/modifiers, Most cards have effects
- 21. Going Forward CardGame only or Board Game w/Cards? If only cards, how do the buy/repair/steal mechanics come into play? Proper design: What will the cards/mat look like? How are the effects and modifiers be displayed on the cards? Who the hell is drawing all of this anyway? Distribution: Shareware/Print and Play? Starter pack + add-ons? Full on production of one singular game?
