1.0 OverviewMedina is a 3D side scrolling action platformer infused with RPG elements. The player explores the environment and fights enemies along the way all the while gaining experience and becoming a more powerful hero.

1.1 Key FeaturesCustomizable Hero

Players can customize their Hero with an array of different kinds of armor sets, equip different types of weapons, and choose to wield an arsenal of devastating spells.

Combat Based leveling Players become stronger through combat. The more they use a particular type of

attack, the more proficient they come in that discipline and ultimate forger their Hero into that type of character. A player who uses strictly melee creates a warrior; magic a mage, and ranged a Ranger.

Unlockable Spells and Equipment Weapons and spells await discovery in Medina. The player can find new

equipment and weapons in chest scattered throughout the lands or by looting the corpse of their slain foe.

Explorable 3D levels This offers the player a chance to explore his surroundings and venture off to find

potential hidden treasures. Other games of similar genres (platformers with RPG elements) do not offer explorable levels.

4.0 Game Type DescriptionsThere is only one game type in Medina, which is the single player campaign. Players are pitted against hordes of the Dragon Lord’s minions and they must fight them in order to defeat the bosses at the end of each level. In doing so, the player comes closer to fighting the Dragon Lord himself at the final boss battle.

4.1 ObjectiveThe sole objective for the player is to progress towards the boss battle in each level and defeat it. In doing so, the player weakens the Dragon Lord’s grasp of the world, reclaiming it for Man.

5.0 Combat, Stats, Attacks & Items5.1 General Combat“Combat” occurs when the player engages an enemy. The player and enemy attack each other in real time in order to deplete the other’s HP to or below 0. When a player or enemy’s HP drops to or below 0, they die.

5.1.1 Combat FormulasWhen something hits an enemy that does damage, the following equation calculates damage:

TrueDamage = Mathf.RoundToInt((float)((RawDamage + Mathf.RoundToInt(RawDamage*DamageVariance)) - (RawDamage * EnemyDamageReduction)))

Where DamageVariance is a double between 0.00 and 0.15, and RawDamage is the following (CLASS is the weapon class (Melee, Bow, Magic) of the weapon used):

10*(ThisWeapon.BaseDamage + (PlayerTarget.GetComponent<PlayerStats>().CLASSLevel + PlayerTarget.GetComponent<PlayerStats>().PlayerZeal))

When something hits the player that does damage, the following equation calculates damage:

TrueDamage = Mathf.RoundToInt((float)((RawDamage + Mathf.RoundToInt(RawDamage*DamageVariance)) - (RawDamage*((PlayerZeal/100) + ArmorReduction))));

Where damage variance is a double between 0.00 and 0.15, and RawDamage is the following:

8* (ThisWeapon.BaseDamage)



8

5.2 Player DamagedWhen the player collides with the hit box of an enemy, enemy attack or other hazard, the player takes damage (HP – damage), player hit sound effect is played, is knocked directly backwards slightly, gains a brief period of invincibility (>=2sec).

A player can be damaged on the ground, during walking/running, in mid-air, during melee attack, during ranged attack and during a magic attack.

Getting damaged cancels any attack being executed.

5.3 Player DeathWhen the player’s HP drops below 0, the player dies.

1. Death Animation and Death Scream2. Death Jingle and screen fades out3. Screen fades in and player is at last checkpoint/start of the level

Enemies respawn, objects reset and switches/events triggered are reset (after checkpoint).

HP/MP are restored to full. EXP and Expertise are carried over and are unaffected.

5.4 Enemy DamagedWhen an enemy collides with the hit box of an attack from the player, the enemy takes damage (HP – damage). Enemy flashes once to indicate hit, and a number shows up above the enemy showing the amount of damage it has taken (approx.1second). Sound of the specific attack or attack type hitting and a distressed sound of the enemy taking damage play at this time.

Enemy attacks cannot be interrupted by the player attacks. Exception: Enemy attack will be interrupted by its death animation when hit

by an attack that kills it.

5.5 Enemy DeathWhen the enemy’s HP drops below 0, the enemy dies.

1. Death Animation and Death Scream2. Enemy fades away3. If applicable: Items appear where an enemy was standing and a sound effect notifies to signal that an item has been dropped.

5.6 Player and Enemy Stats

5.6.1 Player Stats HP – Hit Points. Decreases equal to damage taken. Player loses (dies) when

HP drops to or below 0. MP – Mana Points. Decreases when player casts a spell. Player cannot cast a

spell if he doesn’t have enough MP. MP regenerates slowly over time. Zeal – An overall bonus to attack damage (All attacks) and an overall

decrease to damage taken (Damage Resistance).©2012 Game Design II class, Wed 12:30pm. for an audiovisual and/or non-dramatic literary work.

EXP – Experience. Experience is gained from hitting an enemy with any weapon. When the experience gauge is maxed out the player will “Level Up”, gaining an increase in HP, MP, and Zeal.

*Expertise – Weapon Type Specific experience. When the player attacks with the specific weapon type, the player gains expertise for that weapon. Functions similar to EXP. When a player gains enough expertise for that weapon, they “[Weapon Type] Level Up!” which gives bonus damage to that type of weapon and allows for better weapons of that Weapon Type to be equipped. Melee Expertise – Expertise for close-range weapons like

swords/axes/etc… This gives bonus damage to Melee Weapons upon Leveling up and will also give the player a bonus to the HP stat.

Bow Expertise – Expertise for bow weapons like long bow/short bow/etc…This gives bonus damage to Bow Weapons upon Leveling up and will also give the player a bonus to the Zeal stat.

Magic Expertise – Expertise for magic spells. Magic Spells cost MP to use. This gives bonus damage to Magic upon Leveling up and will also give the player a bonus to the MP stat.

*Expertise may also be used as a requirement for specific weapons or armors.

5.6.2 Enemy Stats HP – Hit Points. Decreases equal to damage taken. Enemy (dies) when HP

drops to or below 0. Base Damage – The amount of damage an enemy does on attack before

player’s Zeal or armor is factored into the equation. Damage Resistance – Decrease to damage taken. EXP multiplier – Multiplies the amount of EXP/Expertise a player gains per

hit by this number. (Base 1).

5.7 Weapons and ArmorWeapons are the objects that the player uses to attack enemies. When a player obtains a weapon, they must equip it to one of the three attack buttons (See 7.0 Controls & Mappings). When that button is pressed the player uses that weapon. Each weapon has only a single use (attack) associated with it. For example, when the player uses the sword ‘Excalidur’ the player performs a single horizontal slash attack. That is all ‘Excalidur’ does. All weapons function in this way. Another example: the ‘Fire Bones’ Wand will only cast the Fire Bones spell when used, and can do nothing else.

5.7.1 Melee Weapons Ground – Short-ranged weapons best for close quarters combat. The hit range is

very close to the character and has a larger area of effect. Air – When used in the air, the attack sends the player directly downwards with

an overhead vertical slash.

When the player holds down the Bow button, the player will then be able to aim in three directions (0, 45, 90 degrees) in the direction that the character is facing. The projectile is fired when the bow button is released (See 7.0 Controls & Mappings).

Air – When used in the air, the player hovers in the air (>1second) while he shoots an arrow downwards at a 30 degree angle in the direction he is facing then continues falling in the same direction/speed before the attack.

5.7.4 ArmorArmor provides a damage reduction to any incoming damage the player faces (reduction based on % that stacks with the damage reduction from the player’s Zeal). A player may come across different types of armor. When a player moves over armor, it is added to their inventory. A player may then choose to equip that armor by cycling through the available sets. The player may only have once piece of armor equipped at a time.

Once the Item has been assigned, the player can use the Quick Item key “R” in the game and activate the assigned item (For a Controller Map, refer to 7.0 Controls & Mappings).

6.0 Enemies6.1 FightersThis enemy is the grunt and backbone of the Dragon Lord’s legion. Tough and versatile, they are the first line of defense and the most common enemy the player will encounter.All don the same Armor, but color indicates difficulty and status

General behavior: Fighters will relentlessly pursue the player if s/he comes into their range. They will chase the player until they are close enough to attack and then, to indicate an attack, change color for a fraction of a second before swinging their weapon.

Green – Grunt (HP: 47, Damage Reduction: 10%, Drop: HP Potion 10%) Grunts use a rusty sword to slash horizontally like the ‘Excalidur’ weapon.

Yellow – Corporal (HP: 169, Damage Reduction: 22%, Drop: Barbarian Gear 2%) Corporals use a sharp iron spear to perform a thrusting attack.

Red – General (HP: 322, Damage Reduction: 36%, Drop: High HP Potion 5%) Generals use a massive steel hammer that attacks from overhead.

6.2 ArchersThis enemy is more trained and skilled than the Fighter. He prefers to stay away from the immediate fray and let his arrows do his dirty work. Archers prefer perched positions to rain down arrows upon the player and are the same in number as the Fighters.All don light armor, color indicates difficulty and status.

General behavior: Archers tend to look out for players and when the player is close enough to shoot, they check to see if their arrow will hit them before using an arrow.



15

When a player gets too close to the Archer they will back away quickly, stopping periodically to shoot.

Green – Grunt (HP: 18, Damage Reduction: 1%, Drop: Thief’s Cloak 5%) Grunts shoot a single weak arrow.

Yellow – Corporal (HP: 58, Damage Reduction: 5%, Drop: NONE) Corporals shoot a fan of three arrows like the ‘Improvised Bow’ weapon.

Red – General (HP: 117, Damage Reduction: 9%, Drop: NONE) Generals shoot single arrows at a very rapid pace.

6.3 MagesThis enemy has been trained in the Dark Arts. Able to cast deadly magic at the player from a distance, they stay out of the fray completely and will throw everything they have at the player to halt their advance.

General behavior: Mages behave more like archers, backing away from players that try to close in with the exception of the Green Mages, who will cast ‘Wind Wrapper’ when the player gets close enough to damage. Color indicates type of Mage and what they will cast.

Mages share the same stats (HP: 160, Damage Reduction: 25%)

Red – Casts Fire Bone (Drop: MP Potion 15%)Blue – Casts Homing Ice (Drop: Homing Ice Wand 2%)Green – Casts Wind Wrapper (Drop: Wind Wrapper Wand 1%)

6.4 Balog(Castle Level Boss)This enemy is the Boss at the end of the Castle Level. Once the player has acquired the three keys needed to unlock the door to his lair, a battle ensues. Balog is bigger and tougher than the others and is much more aggressive.
