Brain Storm stage:

The overall concept of the game: My game applies the elements of Despina city which is the combination of ships and camels. I want to express the different hierarchies in the scene and create an area where the desert meets the port and the sea. Sailor is a traditional job in the Despina because the area off the coast of the port is very dangerous, they go out to sea to meet cargo ships before they run aground. Players enter the game as a sailor who carries goods from merchant ships at sea and then returns to port for delivery to merchants traveling by camels. The sailor will deliver goods at low prices to update her ship and unlock the goods with higher prices.
-
The game design pillars: Avoid obstacles: The player drives the ship to enter the sea and escape the obstacles such as reefs and grass, and also some dynamic obstacles like sharks and pirate ships.
