Comic Book Superhero Universe Video Game
Team Hero
|
+ MAIN |
The Game - Team Hero is the perfect superhero
simulation game where the player can create the ultimate comic book
experience in a free roaming and destructible set of environments with
both a single player story mode and open ended game play with various
online modes. The story features the superheroes from the Mass
Destruction books written by Ryan M. Conti where you can use the built
in characters or create and use your own.
The System - Development of versions for console systems like PS3 and Xbox 360 are possible but a PC version would have more customizable content and easier to use interface. Whether it will be developed for all or just the PC is yet to be determined. |

Features -
Character Creation - Team Hero would allow for complete customization of your superhero character in a similar fashion to the creators used in the WWE Smackdown vs Raw games with some features reminiscent of Freedom Force and The Sims. You will control the body shape and size, its poses, moves, skills, and controller set up, built in weapon features for robotic or cyborg characters, equipment, vehicles, coloration, hero insignia, team logos, and voice. This same process can make heroes, villains, sidekicks, and teammates. Powers - Almost every super power you can think of would be in this game from altering your size, to super strength or speed, to telekinesis. Control the look of your energy signatures, auras, power flares, and other appearances. There are numerous tricks and moves you can buy as you advance in level for each power. Types - You can create a non-powered hero that depends on gadgets and martial arts or powerful cosmic entities from any one of many different humanoid types like mutants, hybrids, aliens, robots, cyborgs, gamma creatures, or spirit entities. Groups and Allies - in Team Hero, teamwork is out middle name (actually its the first name). You can gain the trust of solo heroes over time by helping them out of tight spots or just go and recruit people whether with advertisements in the classifieds or paying heroes-for-hire like mercenaries. Creating a team is simple to do from the pool of characters you've created. Customize their team logo, color coordinate uniforms, buy a base of operations and set up shop, then go to work as a team as you can pick up to three other heroes to accompany you and tweak their AI controls how you like it. Once your team gets really big you can hire PR people, lawyers, doctors, and accountants to manage the deep financial aspects of team operation. Advanced Dynamics - Team Hero can be played like a stealth game for those sneakier characters. You can track your targets by smell or see through walls. Crawl along ceilings to avoid detection or shrink to hide in a tin can. NPC Interaction - There are literally thousands of people you hero can interact with and make friends or enemies of. Anger a reporter and you just might become the victim of a news story that slams your popularity rating or the police chief might call for your arrest if you hurt too many police. There are dozens of factions you could alienate or befriend. As a criminal you could win influence with politicians, corrupt police, or become allied to a crime family. Factions - the city has dozens of factions, some are businesses, some are street gangs, some are government agencies, some are news stations. You have a Popularity relationship score with each one in the city. Criminal organizations that dislike you a lot may send people after you on occasion. Those who favor you would occasionally hold fundraisers for you (or your group). The relationship can be repaired by taking missions from the boss of the organization. This will usually alienate another Group somewhere but you get in good with them. You can even join some groups and rise in their ranks to take over. Environments - There's the main city but also many areas you gain access to as you complete missions that you can return to and even build your base at. Underwater cities, glacial palaces, asteroid strongholds, and desert hideaways are just a few of the places you'll need to clear out of enemies in the story. Each environment affects people differently too. A water generator would be hard pressed to use their powers in the desert but not in the sewers or underwater. Open Ended - Free missions in Team Hero are freelance work that heroes and teams get while they wait for story based missions to come about. More missions means more money, popularity and chances to influence factions or people in the game. Villains have similar missions but are trying to oust heroes or corrupt officials in various areas in the game to gain control over the entire world but holding the areas against new heroes becomes a challenge. Money - As mentioned before, there is a deep financial aspect to Team Hero. Money is needed to keep up Bases, vehicles, buying new unlockables and weapons, paying your taxes or rent, and paying off lawsuits. Doing free missions helps this but you might also get government contracts or become employed by a faction or government which will pay a salary. |

| Moral Meter - your
moral score would determine a number of factors. For one it would determine the
reactions of police, government officials, citizens, the news and what types of
jobs are offered.
Popularity Meter - changes based on heroic or villainous acts. Also can be smeared by angry news reporters, annoyed government agencies, or boosted by paid spin doctors or propaganda minions. Citizen Bravery - Each citizen in the game has their own stats, jobs, daily routes to travel, and can each have an opinion of your heroic/ villainous character. Saving their lives has a big impact on their liking you but putting them in harms way could cause them to hate/ fear you forever. Regardless, each citizen has a bravery score. Single citizens might fall in love or stalk their heroes like obsessed fans. When a citizen dies, they are reborn with same name but no memory of their pasts (thus can no longer have an opinion of you). Reactions are also affected by freakish physical appearances. The Arena - a favored spot on all city journeys. This is the link to the internet where heroes and villains can play in various modes. I'd like to see tons of special modes for the arena such as the following. Co-op City mode (up to 16 players in one city), Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Tournaments for money or championship belts. Create-a-Comic - Team and Hero pictures, action shots, add dialog and create special effects on the art, print the action or save as image files. You are the creator and can create your own monthly comics now. Web Savvy - Play free-form online, post your comic book stories and even get paid for them, post your heroes and their portraits, download new maps, wearables, patches, weapons, and other content. PC version / Editor - should be simple enough so anyone can use it to create a custom location to add to the game. Drag and drop objects and get new objects also from the net. |
