-Still early pre-planning. Just tossing around some ideas and concepts. These are proposals I have come up with so far.  --- //[[jjp@oddbeat.de|Nikolaj Leischner]] 2007/01/28 00:32// +== Overview ==
- +
-== Gameplay == +

-The basic gameplay can be described as: arcade racing with top-down perspective. I think there won't be a lot discussion about this because it is a pretty straight forward idea. As far as I see the only question is how camera movement should be handled - does the camera rotate with the player vehicle or not? To both add some depth and make the game a little more unique I suggest to introduce a set of special items similar to those e.g. to be found in Mario Cart. I really like that system for its simplicity. Of course key would be to find some interesting triggered abilities. +

-Further I think this needs to be multiplayer. Network play seems to be necessary. Split screen would be possible from the perspective of gameplay but I consider it as nice-to-have but not required. We have to discuss how many players should be supported. AI drivers would be neat - e.g. two player games get more fun with some additional moving obstacles. However I have no idea what it would take to implement this.  +

-== Design tasks == +
- +
-- more detailed work on background, try to incorporate it into our Oddbeat universe +
-- design a special item system +
-- consider different or modified modes of play (that could be added without much work) besides the classic "first who finishes wins" +
- +
-== My personal wish list == +
- +
-- use shaders and produce a "round" look, if necessary concentrate on few tracks and make them beautiful instead of more but less detailed tracks +
