Midterm Post: Pizza Man Game

For my midterm project I decided to make a simple yet interactive game much like those found on websites like addictinggames.com or armorgames.com. Most of these interactive games use stick figures and I thought using stick figures would fit well with my aspect of what I wanted my game to look like. Although I decided to use stick figures for my project, I put my own little twist on some of the characters to get certain points across. For example, in one part of the game there will be a very muscular man who answers the door to the main character (Pat). This muscular man just so happens to be the boyfriend of the girl that Pat has a crush on. The boyfriend must look intimidating so I made him have muscular arms that apparently do not resemble a stick figure's arms but his face is still simple and very similar to that of a stick figure's.

My game entitled "Pizza Man" will be made in Adobe Flash and is an interactive computer game where one player decides choices for the main character, Pat. "Pizza Man" is all about a young man named Pat who needs a job or else his parents will kick him out of the house. Pat's search for a job brings him to Mario's Pizza, the local pizzeria. Mario needs a delivery man so he hires Pat. The only problem is Pat only has a short amount of time to deliver 3 pizzas before Mario's closes for the night. Then the adventure begins. Pat makes trips to 3 houses, all of which have 3 completely different characters awaiting for him at the door. The interactive portion of the game is for the player to decide whether Pat tries to get a tip or whether he takes the alternative choice given (different for each character) which results in something funny and/or crazy that happens between him and the character at the door. The main purpose that I am trying to get across with this game is just for entertainment. I am just bringing an everyday job and combining that with funny twists and turns into a single player computer experience. There will be a few opportunities to choose what path Pat takes on his way to pizza delivering success or failure, so the player must choose wisely.

My game will be something similar to the link above but I will have a completely original story-line, characters, and situations.
