Wk03 Game Pitch Concept Phase


 I had some trouble coming up with this idea, but walking back to my room Wednesday night I felt inspired. I remembered one of my favorite childhood TV shows, "Ben Ten" and I was able to come up with this game pitch. The main character has the ability to absorb any substance he touches and can become that substance. Whether it be lava, rock, steal, diamond, or tree bark, he becomes the substance and can use special powers that go along with the substance he has absorbed.


For example, if he absorbed steal, he can transform his arms into swords, or if he absorbs lava, he can throw fireballs, absorbing bark allows him to blend in with his surroundings.










I wanted to make this game have multiple environments so that the player will have many different materials that their character can absorb. There will be forests, volcanoes, ice trenches, cities and more.












The other aspect of the game that I wanted to institute was chance. The plot line for the character is that he was a harden criminal whose punishment was to be experimented on with alien technologies in Area 51. The experiments led to his powers and aided him in his escape. Now he has a chance to use these powers for either good or evil and which ever path the player chooses, will affect different events in the game.

  1. The slogan you used in the first image, "Give Midas a run for his money", is very clever. In a way, this character's situation is the opposite of Midas, where instead of your touch transforming an object, it transforms you instead.

    I'm also getting some slight Kirby vibes from the character's abilities, but he gains it through touching objects instead of inhaling them.
