1 World of Hello PC/Console/Android TV (game platform) Target Age: All ages ESRB: E Projected shipping date: GOG.com, Steam Early Access Greenlight: April 27th, 2016 Logo:

2 Game Outline: Game Story Summary : You are an alien that works for an intergalactic pizza company. You crash landed on a new planet on your voyage due to the planet s gravitational pull. You must now explore the new planet, searching for metallic objects to use to repair your spaceship. Game Flow: The player controls the alien and moves through a 2D sidescrolling world collecting metal objects to rebuild their spaceship. The game in its early access state will consist of three levels. The first level spells out the word Hello with platforms. The second level spells out the word World with platforms. Both of these levels contain objects for the player to collect as well as enemies for the player to defeat. If the player is defeated by an enemy, they are transported to the Mars map and will be transported from the end of this map to a location at the beginning of the level they died at. Future plans after early access include either forcing the player to collect all objects to progress or implementing a point system to reward the player for each object collected. A time attack challenge mode would likely also be added for each level.

3 Character : You are an alien that works for an intergalactic pizza delivery company. On a delivery run to a new planet, you get pulled into a different planet s gravity. You crash land on the planet and must explore the planet, searching for objects to use to rebuild your spaceship. Concept Art: (Art from the Open Bundle) Controls:

4 Gameplay : World of Hello is a single player, 2D sidescrolling platformer where the player will explore the world in seach of objects to use to rebuild their spaceship. The game is divided into individual levels, with a teleport to the next. In the early access phase, the game consists of three level maps. The first one spells out Hello with platforms. The second level spells out the word World with platforms. The third level is only seen by the player if they die, and it is a Mars level. The final game is planned to have three levels per world, a boss fight at the end, followed by a transition to a new area of the planet. USPs: Explore an undiscovered planet! Find many new creatures, both friendly and not. Use your alien technology to crush enemies! Use the planet s strange gravity to solve puzzles. Collect various objects and rebuild your spaceship This game will be available for download. A limited edition physical copy will also be made, complete with a hard copy manual, artbook, and soundtrack CD. The limited edition copy will be released after the game is out of the early access phase. All downloadable versions of the game activated during the early access phase will recieve digital versions of these extras as DLC added automatically to the users accounts.

5 Gameworld : This is the first level of the game. This section spells out Hello with the platforms. This level contains a single pink slime enemy. This enemy will die if the player jumps on it, but the player will die if they hit it from the side. If the player dies, they will be taken to Mars, the death map. Several collectables are located in this level. The spaceship s chair, a giant paperclip (larger than the player character), and a pyramid of gold. The chair and paperclip will display text dialogue when collected. A teleporter is located at the bottom of the level and is represented by a blue button. This button will take the player back to the top of the map. The teleporter in the upper right corner of the map will take the player to the next level. The box in the upper right will fall if you kick it and serves no practical purpose. This level playes the sound An Adventure Awaits from the Open Bundle. This is the second level of the game. This section spells out World with the platforms, finishing the message Hello World, a commonly used message for learning how to write programs. This map only contains two collectables, a rusty cylinder and a table. This level plays

6 the sound Those of Us Who Fight from the Open Bundle, which has a faster tempo than the previous level. Like the previous level, the teleporter at the bottom will take the player back to the top of the map. The teleporter on the upper right will take the player to the end of the game. This level is only accessible if the player dies. It is the Mars map and it is completely silent. (I guess the enemies thought you were a martian.) The upper right corner contains a teleporter to return to the main game. The teleporter in the bottom right corner takes the player back to the left side of the map.

7 Game Experience : The final version of this game would be a fun, relaxing platformer that is challenging, but not too dificult. Players would first be greeted with the Hello level on startup, but it is likely that few players will notice that the placement of platforms form letters. The music would convey a more adventurous tone to the game. The game displays text monologues of the main character s thoughts when certain objects are picked up.

8 Gameplay Mechanics : Mechanic: The player jumps on platforms by using the left control stick and the A button. The player will collect objects by running into them. The player will jump on enemies to defeat them. Hazard: All enemies in their current state are hazards as they do not move. Collectibles: Various metal objects such as chairs, giant paperclips, tables, golden pyramids and more. The game does not have an economy system because that would imply that the planet you landed on contained civilized lifeforms.

9 Enemies : The only enemy in the game in its current state is the pink slime. It is lazy and just stands in place and can be defeated easily by jumping on it. There are no rewards for defeating them other than removing them from the level. The character art was provided by the Open Bundle.

10 Bonus Features : The final game will have Steam/ GOG Galaxy achievements. These achievements will be awarded based on the collectibles obtained as well as a few others such as an achievement for pushing the block from the first level into the bottom right corner. The achievements will also be shown in game, for players that prefer DRM free standalone copies of games.

11 Monetization : This game will not contain any in app purchases. It will be released for free in early access, and will only cost money if I, the developer, feel that the game has grown enough to be complete and ready to sell. The final game will be low cost, likely $1 or less. The early access version shall remain as a free demo.
