SHRED!! - project idea
Today I came up with the initial concept for a game whose scope is smaller than Wither. It's called SHRED!! and it's a card game centered around a vampire band touring their country and amassing fans to play in the big capital.
Primarily I want to make this happen because I want to get back into game development. I need to start on something smaller and I already know my inner perfectionist will take over and make this task much bigger than it has to be. So I'm preemptively forcing myself into a smaller scope.
The game is based around building audience Hype and making every bandmate play their part in it. You get cards from each member's "class" (LUTE, BASS, VOCAL, DRUMS) which each have their own quirks and benefit off each other (or don't. I'm looking at Lutist and Bassist. They have some kind of beef.) You can also build combos between the cards like the "Harmonize" combo of Vocalist and Bassist that gives you extra Hype if played together in the same turn but nothing on it's own. There are possibly varying levels of complexity that this game could expand on but for now I am staying simple.
The structure is as follows: the band needs to play 5 gigs in total, with the last one being the gig in the capital. Each gig consists of 3 songs. One song has 5 phrases (verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus).
I might restructure my other site for this project's documentation also.
