Dog of Wisdom Challenge Game Design Document


1. High Concept
This is a game inspired by the ridiculous YouTube video Dog of Wisdom. In the
video, a small dog is flying a plane across what he claims to be his sky until he comes
across the Dog of Wisdom who gives him some funny advice. In this game, there will be
two characters. The small dog will be the first player and the Dog of Wisdom will be the
opponent/second player in multiplayer mode. The game play consists of flying the small
dog across the sky and shooting down enemies that the Dog of Wisdom sends. At the
end of each level, the player must answer a riddle in order to continue. The game ends
when the player completes all of the levels and all of the riddles have been answered
correctly. In multiplayer mode, the second player plays as the Dog of Wisdom and
whoever gains the most points by the end then wins the game.
2. Genre
The genre of the game is an RPG/Shooter and a bit of text based. There is also a
splash of the ridiculous and humorous.
3. Game Play
In single player mode, the player goes through three levels shooting down
enemies and avoiding being hit. At the end of each level, the player must answer a
riddle correctly in order to advance to the next level. In multiplayer mode, the two
players play on the same machine at the same time. There will only be one extended
time level where the objective is to gain the most points by the end. The player with the
most points at the end wins the match.
4. Features
a. Single Player mode
b. Multiplayer face off mode (for honors credit)
c. Two playable characters
d. Three different levels
e. Extended timed level for multiplayer
f. Three riddles
g. Different types of enemies
5. Setting/Story
You, Dog, have been at peace aimlessly flying around in your little red plane in
your domain, the sky. One day, you come across another canine riding on top of a
cloud. This creature claims to be the Dog of Wisdom. After a short talk, the Dog of
Wisdom has challenged you, Dog, to a battle in the sky. To beat the Dog of Wisdom,
you must shoot down the advancing enemies before you lose all of your health. There is
a catch though, the Dog of Wisdom will meet you at the end of each level and ask you a
riddle. You have three tries to answer the riddle correctly in order to continue in the
challenge.

6. Target Audience
The target audience is casual gamers or children 10 and up.
7. Hardware Platform
The game will only be playable on PC.
8. Budget and Estimated Schedule
There is not a budget since this will only be used for class. Over the next week all
of the modeling for characters and enemies will be finished. Then the layout of the
game will be designed. After that, the code for the game will be designed and
implemented. Finally, the game will be tested and redesigned if needed before the final
due date.
9. Competitive Analysis
This is a simple game and can be played by a wide range of people. As far as I
know, it is the only game based on the YouTube video Dog of Wisdom. This makes
my game unique. This game will also have some ridiculous aspects making it hilarious
and fun to play.

11. Summary
This game is lighthearted and hilarious that is easy enough for anyone to play but
also entertaining enough for more experienced gamers. There is a good amount of
levels for the game to be playable for an appropriate amount of time. This game also
has a multiplayer mode so that two friends can enjoy it together.
