Features summary

"The Quest to Delphi" is a single player 2D environment game with 3D characters. This means that the game will provide the player with beautifully rendered graphics without increasing the computer requirements to play it smoothly. As 3D environments are heavy and more demanding of the hardware, we decided to use graphical images created in Photoshop as backgrounds for our game, which set the mood perfectly without causing problems with computer requirements. Also, as this is an educational game and would be used in schools, we had to make sure that it would run well on almost any computer, therefore we made it as light as possible. However, we still wanted to give the player a clear sense of movement in the game world, so we decided to create 3D characters that would make the game more realistic.

Our storyline is one of exploration and adventure, and thus our players can come across many different characters along their path, friendly, hostile and ignorant. Sometimes the people that the players meet will give various assignments which have to be completed in order to advance the storyline. The players decide what route they take through the game as they have the option of going to different places and choosing their own route through the world, however, the mission of the game remains the same and no matter what path the players take they still have to arrive to the same destination in the end.
