Hello everyone!
We are a small team of student game developers.
This is the first of 4 devlogs that we will publish about our prototype - Shogun.
We were tasked with making a game in GB Studio, about the series with the same name (Shogun) for one of our classes.
The goal for this project is for us to create a fun experience based on the series while learning how to work in a team with multiple different roles, to prepare us for the videogame industry.
We will choose 3 major moments from the series to represent in the game, as the player follows the story of Lord Yoshii Toranaga.
To give a little bit of context, shortly before this story happens, Portugal maintained comercial relationships with Japan and would then sell the products to England and Holland. After Portugal lost its king in a battle, Spain took control. As Holland and England were enemies of Spain at the time, the comercial relationships were cut, so they wanted to find the source of the products brought to Europe by portuguese people. And we can see it happening in the series.
Now lets move on to the actual game.
This week, our team mostly worked on Game Design ideas.
We are thinking of making a narrative game where your choices matter and alter the game.
We will also probably create some sort of world map, where the player can pick the area to go to play through each of the 3 moments from the series.
Lastly, here's an image that we are going to use in the game:
That is all for now!
Stay tuned for our update next week!
