Final Game Pitch

Intro: This game is one that will primarily take place on the Ipod and/or Ipad. The idea of the game is to get the ball in the hoop by doing a hookshot, by swiping your finger across the screen. A swipe to far to the left or right will cause the player to miss his shot.. At first the player will start out up close to the basket just to get used to it. As they slowly start to improve upon the main character's, Zach Anderson, skills, they will eventually move back further and further and even face opponents.

Characters: Zach Anderson, the kid at the bottom, is the main character of this game. After being beaten badly at a game of basketball, he refuses to lose again. However, he needs to change his game and do something no one has done before. So, in order to do this, he starts to develop one of the most difficult shots in the game, the hookshot. These other kids in this image are just some of the many opponents the player will have to face sooner or later. As you can see, all of these characters aren't dressed to play professionally or in a league. All of these characters are dressed to play where the true basketball stars play, the streets.

Courts: These are the courts that I am going to attempt at creating for the games to take place on. As you can see, each of these courts are outside. The reason for this is so that there will be outside factors, other than just the defense, affecting your shot. For instance, weather conditions would highly effect the shot. Rain, snow, hail, and wind are all things that will effect the player's ability to make a shot. Certain conditions will also cause other skills to be problematic as well. However, the more you upgrade your skills, the less problematic they will be.

Upgrades: All characters improve their skills as the game go on. The only thing that differs from game to game is how. In this game, I plan on making Zach level up. Each time a player has enough experience and levels up, they will gain a skill point. These skill points can be spent at the gym where they can go to improve Zach's skills. There are four categories you can choose from: Strength (so Zach can shoot from father back), Accuracy (so Zach has more of a chance to make the shot), Stamina (how long Zach can run for), and Ball Handling (effects how good Zach is at dribbling the ball). All of these skills are important to Zach's success on the basketball course and will effect how well he does during a game.
