Fifth Sun: Presentation

• We are West State Studios, and this is our game, Fifth Sun.

• Fifth Sun is a real-time, top-down, hack-and-slash PC game with possible release on Steam or Desura.

• A screenshot mock-up showing Toci in Tenochtitlan.

• Here's the isolated GUI showing health, mana, weapons equipped, weapon levels, and player level.

• And a brief look at the weapon select GUI.

• With Fifth Sun, we're going for a bit like Binding of Isaac, 

• With some Hotline Miami, but more about open spaces and hoards of enemies.

• Hammerwatch is another similar game, but with a bit more RPG focus.

• What makes our game different?
• 2-d, top-down combat, but against multitudes of enemies and in large open spaces.
• Inventory allows mixing and matching, allowing the player to find a style they like.
• Skill-tree unlock system.

• Fifth Sun is for mid-core PC gamers, aged 22 - 28. 

• People who might play: Amy. Amy enjoys hard games and is looking for a challenge. 

• Rick is more interested in the abnegation and sense-pleasure Fifth Sun offers.

• Gene plays games for the story. Fifth Sun is most appealing for him because of the ongoing narrative of the Aztecs fighting Spanish forces.

• From the existing market, you can see we are priced competitively for the relative length of our game, approximately 10 - 15 hours of gameplay for one play-through. 

• Building West State would cost $16,745, with monthly operational costs of $7,395.

• Over the course of the eight month project, this totals $79,905.
