Game Design - For Mom
FOR MOM - A fight for a world-first important person.
Aim of the game - Show how mother and son have relationships in real life. To prove that if you have any problems with your body, you can make it your strong point and your strength.
What is the For MOM game about? - This is the story of a hero who helps his mother to live more with his family. Hero (Andy), fight against whole nature and the world to save his mother (Joya) life against a very dangerous illness. The hero has a weakness in his body. Andy has only one hand for which he feels so bad while help to his mother.
Why story video games attract players to play? - The main reason behind this is most of story Video games related to many players life, not in sense of action and fights with very dangerous game props but the sense of main reason for fight against the whole world. Second reason play story-based games are “The story game allows the player to interact and communicate with the characters and objects of the game. This also allows the player to communicate with other players and express your feelings for the game. This interaction boosts social skill and helps to accumulate ideas from different sources.” [1]. Base on this my game also has a story to play, has enemies to fight and has goals which players need to complete and achieve the final destination to win the game.
As you know that story is about Mother and Son where a son is the hero (Andy) of game, his mother is the destination of the game.
Why I choose this story base game? - I love my mother the most. But the main reason to choose this game is my friend, who just leave the UK for his mother. His mother lives in India, as he comes to the UK to study. His name is Rahul, in this pandemic, Rahul’s mother got very dangerous illness because of the illness he needs to leave the UK and stay with his mother. I inspired with his feelings for his mother and his curiousness to meet his mother as soon as possible.
‘Life is always giving positive waves and negative waves. Positive waves teach you how to stay happy with everyone! and how you can make happy others who connected with you and your life! Negative waves always give you second chance and second way of your failures to make it in your success.’
I believe whatever happens with us that is always good for our life. Sometimes, we are in the wrong way in that situation, time teach us or inform us that you are in the wrong way. Make it right with going these ways.
Back to the game: What happened to Andy’s mother? - Andy’s mother got a very dangerous illness which is very harmful to her body. Because of the illness, Joya can’t move or not able to eat and drink any things, even getting problems while speaking with others. They did lots of treatment for this illness but all the tries become waste.
What is next for the treatment of Joya? - Andy believes in the god so he always goes to the temple to pray to god for his mother. One day he meets a religion mentor (Shiva), who comes to visit the temple. Mentor see Andy, looks more worried. Mentor go near to Andy and ask him about problems. Andy explains everything going on in his life. What his mother going through and about the illness. The mentor is very old age and kind person, he suggests meeting a person who lives in the next village of Andy’s village. His name is Rahman. Rahman knows about the magic stone which helps you to recover your mother and helps you to come out from this situation.
Magic Stone is a very amazing blessing from god. Stone is a very useful tool who truly in a very tough situation and who need help to fight for life. Stone has magic power which helps you to improve health and if you need money or something else that also possible by having that magic stone.
Guys, my story is still in development by story side and by character design and enemies design. I will come very soon to introduce with the character of this game and the enemies of this game.
Week 2:I am really sorry for late update my blog. I was busy with my stuff. In this week, I worked on my GDD(Game Design Documentation). I made a one page GDD also, which help you to know more about my game.
This is how my one pager GDD looks like

Week 2:
I am really sorry for late update my blog. I was busy with my stuff. In this week, I worked on my GDD(Game Design Documentation). I made a one page GDD also, which help you to know more about my game.
After submit 1 page GDD:
After complete 1 page GDD, I learnt a lot of new vision for my game. I did so many changes in my game design story after this new experience or I can say after this beautiful exercise. This document help me to structure my full game design documentation with detail info about each department such as, Character info, Environment info, Game play info and information about how story move forward in the game.
Interim Presentation Benefit:
When I had to give my interim presentation I prepare a ppt file for presentation to explain about my game design and my project goal, what to achieve with the project work before deadlines.
All my classmates have nice presentation with their own titles to work for Game design modules. The presentation gives a strong confidence and also comments and feed back from class also helps a lot for the new development on this game design.
This is how I present the idea about my game design of 'for MOM':
Progress of the project:
After collecting all the feedbacks and comments, I decided how to move ahead in the project. I finalized my aims and what I try to achieve from the project. Please say with this blog you will get all info about the project.
After have a story of the game, the game is divided in 7 levels. Levels 1 to 6 are the main game play in which player know about the goal of playing game and what they try to achieve from the game. In level 7, they reach at the final stage of the game and need to complete properly because this stage is crucial for them to end the game and win the game.
Level 1:
Info about the level 1:When player starts the game they have a small animation of Hero's flash back story, player starts the game and then they can move in the game anywhere by using the keys of keyboard.
The story of the level 1:Player already know what is the back ground of the hero. In level 1, player meets to his mentor and also have a chat with mother which will emotional. After having a chat with mother player walk forward and will reach at the temple. In temple, he meets to Shiva who is the mentor of Andy (Hero of the game). Shiva is a representative of the religion. Shiva and Andy have chat about Andy's mother disease (stroke of paralyses). Andy is looking for the solution of the problem and he asks to Shiva for suggestion and guides. This all conversation happen in level 1. At last of level 1, all players know what is the goal of the game.
Shiva:
Andy:
Joya (Andy's mother):
Level 2:
Info about the level 2:When player reach at this level, player knows the goal and he/she also knows about the next character meets. In this level, players meet to Rahman who is a farmer in the next village. Rahman knows more about the magic stone and he can help to move ahead for the goal.
The story of the level 2:After completing the level 1, players have knowledge about Rahman but they have no explanation about his body and looks. Player moves ahead in the game level and find the Rahman house. After reaching to the Rahman house, player go near him and press E to have a chat with him. Here, Rahman and Andy have conversation which is very helpful for Andy to find the magic stone. But, before that Andy needs to complete few tasks at this level. Rahman gives 2 tasks to Andy, first he needs to collect a magical plant from Green land and second one is he needs to collect historical item from Desert world. Here you can see, we have two new worlds. Green land and Desert world.
After reach at level 2 and complete tasks:In this level, players have knowledge about new worlds and a big and important info they will find from here is about magical plant which very useful for player to give to Joya.
Rahman:
Green land:
Desert world:
Level 3 to Level 6:
After completing level 1 and level 2, players have more 4 levels to reach at final place. Level 3 and 4 are important because they will introduce with new enemies and powers. In next 2 levels, they meets new character and have chat with them to reach at final level. In short, in level 3 to level 6, players meet new character, have chat with them, introduce with new powers and enemies. Also, introduce with new items and elements in Green land and Desert world. Also, player will find a dummy magic stone which is a copy of real one.
Level 7 (Final Place):
After completing all the tasks in all levels, finally reach at the level 7 which is the final level of the game. At this stage, players reach at the king place because the final stage is king palace. In king palace, players needs to find the final mistrial gate to enter in the unreal/virtual world. Actually, king hide that magic stone in an unreal world so if ant one reach that they confused with what they are seeing and what they are not seeing. At this stage, player needs to find right way and reach at the magic stone.
After reaching at the magic stone, players require to change the real magic stone with dummy one so that king does not know about that. King put a very strong security around the magic stone so if anyone just touch or move the magic stone king get alert and army of the king catch the person who try to bring the magic stone, A dummy stone helps to Andy to bring original with him. Andy will use the teleport gate which helps him to reach at home so faster. After reach at home he gives that stone to his mother and Joya hold the stone for almost 10 to 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, Joya start feeling stronger and better than before. She almost destroy the stroke of paralysis and become normal. The end is good for Joya but not only for her but good for Andy as well. Andy has physical disability and after complete all stages Andy knows how to fight with disability and how to achieve all life goal.
