For this week's assignment you'll be making a pitch to license an intellectual property you're familiar with, or a fan of. You will be pitching to me as the Intellectual Property holder - and attempt to convince me that you'll create an experience fitting of of licensing you my property.
Remember to do research on the property you're looking to use, remember to include things that fans of the series (that's potentially you!) would want/need to see in the game.
Your goal is to create a concise document that covers all of the following topics. I leave the format up to you, the point is to present this information clearly and organized. Use what you've learned about game design so far to come up with an idea and speak to its merits.
1) Game Information (10 Points)
2) What elements from the IP are you looking to use in your game? What key elements/characters/names/etc do you consider to be 'necessary' for fans of the series to see in the title? This is where you want to show me as the IP holder that you've done your research and have a deep understanding of the property you're licensing. (20 Points)
3) What are the core mechanics of the game? What is the intended player experience? How do these mechanics complement the property? These shouldn't be deep, fully designed systems, just the core gameplay experience (20 Points)
