Goal:

Create a multi user environment that incorporates gaming elements.

Stage 1:

• Build a single room with a single character that can be moved around using the keyboard (arrow keys)
• Develop simple game

Stage 2:

• Develop online environment with two Users able to communicate
• Incorporate game into environment via game consoles

Ideas:

• ingame email booths where people could come and leave messages for other users. These can be placed in cafe style places and around the city.
• Users can build their own robot using a small director application. (eg. Choose head, body, feet components and a colour scheme)
• Mechanic - robots can be upgraded here
• Users could build their own homes and add specific things to it (Similar to the robot builder but with household items). This could include things like a personal upgrader removing the need to go to a mechanic.
• Games provide points that can be used to purchase upgrades and access new areas of the city.
• Two sorts of games:
  1. small arcade style games in buildings
  2. city wide games that could include more than one player
     
• Elevators used to get to different floors of a building (removes the need for stairs)

Branding

• BioBot (biobot.co.nz not taken yet)
