My Little Pony: Keep on Flying
Mechanics and Game Systems for a Mobile Game
Concept
At the start of the course Game Mechanics, we had the mandate to create a fight mechanic and a navigation mechanic for a game on the platform of our choice. This without knowing the other mechanics and systems that would be required for the rest of the game. We had to adapt to the new requests everytime.
In the following documents, you can find my mechanics and systems created for a game mobile that I named My Little Pony : Keep on Flying .
I had a lot of fun to create and document these mechanics and systems.
I hope you will have as many pleasure to read them that I had to do them!
Basic mechanics
Fast flight
