Pitch Requirements

Camera View

Depending on the character a player chooses, their view can either be first-person or third-person. The camera assumes the eyes of Gabriel looking towards Leonard.

Character

There are two characters, Leonard and Gabriel. Leonard runs through levels, while Gabriel places platforms. Each player in a coop game chooses their character.

Environment

Most levels occur in the bright sky with vivid scenery below; however, due to the surreal world, bizarre structures exist, such as floating castles. Because of this, some levels will also occur inside buildings.

Core Game Mechanic

Cloud Run has a strong focus on cooperation to complete levels. One player has to run through a level while the other playing is building a path for him.

AI

There are some enemies throughout each level, such as flying demons. They will need to know how to chase and attack Leonard.

Physics

Cloud Run will use Unity’s built-in physics engine, NVIDIA PhysX. This will handle gravity, momentum, and collision detection.

Audio

There will sound effects for every interaction within the game and will be played over dreamy background music.

Networking

Because Cloud City is strictly a two-player game, it can be played online.
