Street Dinosaurs

Experimental Game Jam 3

Story: 

In a world where dinosaurs become the dominant intelligent species, the society of dinosaurs thrives much like humans within a civilized environment with towns, cities and agricultural landscapes. Within a dictatorial world ruled by a singular overlord, the Pterosaurs fueled with violence and hatred for being suppressed by their land creature counterparts forge weapons to fight back against a cruel and corrupt government. Your goal is to avoid being caught by the Kronosaur Police Department and jailed behind bars: Use your weapons to make your way to the capital and assassinate the overlord using stealth and flight. 

Mechanics:

Three major core mechanics for this game idea include stealth, flight and weapon generation. In order for stealth, a flight cannot be used. In order for weapons to be used, flight and stealth are both inactive. And vice versa for stealth mechanics. 
Using some minimalism to counter the control difficulty, the game shall be played much like a platform with some alternation. 

Aesthetics: 

Game aesthetics are very minimalistic, as a 2D (not platformer) fighting game is set to a specific location. The movement of the player will be vertical, ascending the level through a city landscape up to the overlord capitol. 

Game flow:

Game flow endurances use the following dynamic features:

• Submission
  • A submissive game for continuous gameplay and challenging objectives.
  • The game is highly diverse in charisma and interactive features with basic controls.
  • The story applies meaning to the players' cause.  
• Fantasy
  • Set in an alternate version of history
  • Dinosaur empires and kingdoms
  • Corrupt Governments ruled by Dictatorial dinosaur overlords
• Narrative
  • A story setting human history in the shoes of dinosaurs
  • Your struggles for freedom and power over the corrupt.
  • Most wanted state criminal
• Challenge 
  • Police investigators 
  • Stealth avoidance of detection by cameras, police, guards and dinosaurs
  • Tunnels and other directions of travel
  • Vertical map 

Game feel:

The game feel is aligned with game dynamics and the enjoyment for player immersion and involvement. The inclusion of a story and history provide a means of cause for playing & succeeding. It also reflects current real-world problems within states of poverty, oppression and corruption. The goal to topple over the government includes a storyline and story basis along with simple game mechanics to both allow players to choose paths of success/failure and provide a story to each interaction they have. It's a very typed based arcade game much like 'Sans Undertale' (Ref 1. Wiki), but with different sources of game feel and story.
