Gameplay
Platforming
Gameplay in Pets-pedition consists of a combination of combat and platforming. Platforming elements include the basic movement options of walking, dashing, and jumping. Climbing and swimming opportunities will be available. Traverse a plethora of levels that have clear starting points and goal points with occasional hidden collectibles for rewarding exploration.
Combat
Pets-pedition’s combat aims to be simple on the surface, but also provide enough depth to develop some flashy combos. Depending on the job class, pets will be running around the world with a sword, staff, bow, or something else entirely as they face their foes. The choice is yours on how you wish to do battle your way to the end of the game.
Job Class System
The job class selected will determine your abilities. Each one has their strong suits. Feel free to swap to a different class either before a level begins or at designated locations. See below for an introduction on what the job classes have to offer.
- Knight
- Take up your noble sword and shield as you charge into battle. Well suited for full horizontal coverage.
- Mage
- Step into the fray with a staff and well-laid plans ready to be put into action. Great with vertical coverage and ability positioning.
- Cleric
- An energetic all-rounder with a lot of personality and a hefty hammer. Always a hit with parties.
- Ranger
- The cautious bow-wielder who enjoys a fair amount of space.
- Rogue
- The trickster class that really likes to surprise with speed. Carries daggers for those close-ranged encounters.
Multiplayer
With the theme being pet centered, it makes sense to find a way to let friends come together for cooperative gameplay. Ideally both local and online options would be available.
Plot
A rooster crows as the sun rises above the horizon. Many of the town residents begin waking up to prepare for a new day and news of what’s going on in the world. An announcement rings throughout the town that heroes and heroines are needed to protect the kingdom from a large-scaled threat along the north border. This causes some specific individuals to spring into action and burst out the the house… but not without showing some love to their pets before leaving.
After saying goodbye to their owners, the pets return to napping. That is until a few small birds perch themselves on a tree near the window. The birds tweet out about animal related news within the kingdom. Environment news, territory changes, and a wizard brewing a scheme to make everyone allergic to all pets?! That last tweet was what another set of heroes and heroines needed to spring into action. Thus begins a new Pets-pedition!
Art
The art for this 2D game will be feature a very expressive amount of color. The goal is to keep a bright, cheerful, and welcoming look throughout the whole game. Cartoon-like facial expressions is one example of something to expect to see within Pets-pedition.
Sound
The sound and music should keep a cheerful tone as well. Expect to hear a mix of bubbly and cartoony sound effects for charm and cuteness.
