Gameplay - Godlike/Project-A GitHub Wiki

In short, the project is an iterative mini-game driven nonlinear goal-focused progression

Iterative

• Each playthrough has a beginning and an end
• Player retains some progress across game sessions
• Mini-game driven
• Each player choice leads to some mini-game
• Mini-games do not have to be “mechanically different” from each other, they could be a version of the same game as long as “choices” seem meaningful and alter the gameplay (mini-game goals differ based on choices)

Nonlinear

• Player choices alter current playthrough storyline and capabilities
• Player may balance initial benefits/handicaps before initiating a playthrough
• Player may trigger events allowing to dramatically switch their current playthrough storyline if they don’t like where it’s going

Goal-focused

• There is a hard end goal for each playthrough
• There is a hard lose condition for each playthrough that pushes the player to progress

Progression

• New mini-games, storylines, etc that open based on what player encounters/does in playthroughs
• Lore
• Collectibles/unlockables
