Minecraft Legend: The Plume

                                              HOW I DID IT!

The design document was made between the four brains of my group. When I got the document, it told me to write the out storyline, characters, levels, objects, and winning/losing scenario! First, all of my group members made up stories for the game, and the best one would be worked on. Then we decided what gameplay style it would be! Then, we added the main character's backstory, and decided why he is the hero and who the villain is. We also started testing things we could do in Minecraft to see if it would work in the story! Lastly, we all (2 of us contributed) finished the document and checked for mistakes.

   DESIGN DOCUMENT  

Game Title: The Plume Genre: Action/Adventure/Open World

Storyline –

Steve, the main character is sleeping the whole time, while the world is getting destroyed! His parents are trying to take cover, but get shot by the Wither. The whole reason why the ender dragon is attacking is not for any reason, they just like killing people!

When Steve wakes up, he finds that his room is destroyed and the only thing that remains is his bed, and his map! He has to face many challenges as he attempts to save the world and kill the enderdragon. He travel through levels finding items to help him face his biggest threat yet, the enderdragon. Before he can kill the monster he needs to take out the wither. To get the nether star. He travels through all the landmarks in his world. He starts off in the Grand Plateau, and goes to the Tundra, Nether, Dessert, and finally the End! In these landmarks he finds materials and items that he can use to defeat the enderdragon and the Wither.

Steve is pretty courageous for trying to save the world, and there are still some people (npcs) that are in the world that Steve can meet. These people can help him complete main quests, side quests, and maybe he can even steal from them, but that does not make him a hero! While Steve fools around the Ender Dragon summons his army of mutants!

The enderdragon can make enemies himself! He summons spiders, zombies, schulkers, skeletons, and other enemies! If Steve can defeat all the enemies, then he can save the world! The problem is that the enderdragon has been getting stronger over the years and more and more people fall because of him, and pretty soon, everybody will make the enderdragon the king of not just the End, everyworld!

An ancient race called the Beel created dungeons in the game to test the strength of a hero that would come and save people if the ender dragon would try to take over the worlds! These dungeons give the hero special gear and items that will help him/her destroy the ender dragon! So now, the hero has been born and is set to take on the dungeons in each of the worlds and landmarks. He will have to go to the hot desert, the cold Tundra, the evil Nether and get ready to fight the ender dragon!

Steve has a real purpose to destroy the ender dragon, not only because of the supposed death of his family, also because he believes that a world where you have to get ruled by a horrible person is not a world that he wants to live in. Steve is not scared at all, he just wants to end his grudge and live a happy life!
