Storyboards ::splash screen

Storyboards:: first time users

Storyboards:: characters

Storyboards:: returning users

Storyboards:: 2d list mode

Storyboards:: 3d Arcade Isometric camera with zoom and rotate capabilities

Storyboards:: Spokesperson “Charlie” and his pushcart “Charlie” pushes the cart around the arcade (simple A.I.) and will have idle animations running until approached.

Storyboards:: Spokesperson Charlie at his pushcart Based off of store from Zelda The spokesperson is the host of this world, called X-Arcadia He is also the in-game representative of the X- Arcade He needs to be able to sell items (real or virtual) to the player Should incite nostalgia for the 80’s How will we accomplish this?

Characters :: Spokesperson Another concept for “Charlie” Male, age Thinks he’s cool Is a game fanatic Frivolous, carefree, excited to have the coolest job ever! Physical attributes- gangly youth, 80’s fashion Motivation: works at the arcade so he can save up to buy a car Characteristics of “Charlie”:

Storyboards:: Exiting game Walk character through exit door to quit game OR Go talk to “Charlie” and quit from there options Customize arcade quit Choose charact er

Characters:: Style of avatars

Visual Style:: Camera angle Isometric far-off View (above) Closer isometric view (below)

Visual Style:: Rendering options Upside: Very fun feel, no need to worry about losing people in almost-realism Downside: Panda does not support cellshading Cell shading ( lined, unlined )

Visual Style:: Rendering options Upside: can go with either cartoon-style or more realism (also, supported by Panda) Gradated shading (omni-directional ambient light with some directional lights)

Visual Style:: Color palettes For in-game and startup interfaces

Tech:: Overview Environment (designs: 2d, isometric, full 3d) Interactions with environment (type depends on design) Launching arcade games in emulators.

Tech:: Rendering Engine Vs. CUSTOM ENGINE Conclusion: We are going with Panda 3d Why? It’s all about the scope.
