The World in 'The Archer'

The Campaign Map:

The player actually pass the most of the time in this screen, in which he has an overlook of the world map, he can see the people who are in that particular part of the world, and of course decide by clicking where to go.

The Place View:

The "Place" view is when the character actually enter in an city, spot, hideout, village, and the player can directly control the character inside that place. The character in this view can interact with people around him, go inside some building, and fight when it is needed.

Game Logics

What should the player do?

The aim of the The Archer is to put the player in condition to feel what the character feels, because of the nature of the character himself and his characteristics you can only attack with Bow and Arrow, the meele fight won't be considered, in fact when you will be too close at enemy you'll probably die. So the player should think as the character, an archer, would think.

The Weapon:

The bow is the player's best friend, the character in fact is one of the best archer ever designed in a game, and his intelligence goes beyond just aim and kill enemies, it goes further and puts the player in conditon to use the character skill to avoid an ostacle, to prevent an object falling right on his head.

Decisions:

One of the most important feature in 'The Archer' is the possibility to take decisions during the gameplay.
But what actually mean?
When you are in the Campaign Map you can go wherever you want, if you want to see a waterfall just go there, if you want to training just go at the training field, if you want to speak with the King just ask audiance at his castle. There is no path to follow, there is no binding quest, you just choose if go in an place or do a quest, but if you don't want to you are free to not do that.

The Fame System:

Another thing to keep in mind is the "Fame", during your adventure you will met a lot of people, and some actions will take effect on how the world sees you, this effect is called "Fame".
Some actions will make your fame raise, and when this happen characters like noble, or just common people will recognize the character in the streets and maybe they will ask for your help.
Other actions, instead, will make your fame lower, and this make you notorious, and lower will be your fame and more the people will have scare of you and the guards of the city will hunt you.

The Character:

The character in this game will be an archer, obviously, with exclent skill in archery, stealth, and agility.
The character can wherever he can in a city, and even climb his way out when there is a dangerous situation on the streets. The good combination of these three elements will make the character a nightmare for his enemy. But of course the player can choose to be loudly and just take the distance and blow everything up.
