This game was inspired by Netflix's Korean series Black Knight. Upon concepting, I realized the game idea was similar to Death Stranding, which I hadn't played before! So, I decided to improve upon what players didn't like about Death Stranding and include it in this game to make a fun original gameplay experience.

Operation: Dispatch Design Documents

A GDD, pitch presentation, level concept, idea document, camera and user interface wireframes and vision document for my ideated multiplayer game in CG Spectrum. The game uses turn-based mechanics and encourages the player to use their tools an environment to solve puzzles and advance through levels with emergent gameplay and different character archetypes. The concept details the player managing a post-apocalyptic delivery crew through levels, dealing with factions, and resources. An example mission is detailed below in the GDD.

The game focuses on a hub-and-spoke style home menu where the player can manage their crew, gear, vehicles, and delivery missions
