- Concept : First person horror escape adventure in non euclidean space (maze)

- Purpose : Escape the maze through non euclidean space and against increasing difficulty over time (AI, space)

- Non euclidean space (Antichamber, http://jayisgames.com/games/feign/ ) to give false perception and make it difficult and frustrating for the user to escape.

- Al (monsters) , path finding in the non euclidean space, time dependency (maybe become faster or more intelligent/aggresive over time)

- Difficulty rises over time, better AI , darker lighting, spatial changes, music more dramatic (amnesia: heavy breathing, motion blurring, sanity meter, reset time)

- Sound cues attached on the monst

- Scene : abandoned house/mansion, maze, narrow paths, small rooms, few objects to interact (flashlight, matches), minor puzzles just to escape some doors (keys, chests)

UNITY

- Software engineering: Object oriented, extensions, components, c# (Matthias)

- Graphics : 3d modeling of monsters, rooms, drawing scene, lighting, textures (Vasileios)

- AI : monster pathfinding in non euclidean space, aggressiveness, spatial changes etc

- Non euclidean space (physics): Varying camera position as we rotate it, (portal effect)  (Guillermo)

- Multimedia: Sound cues, Effects, Music adapting to the atmosphere and getting more dramatic as time passes…  (Axel)

Feedback

- Rendering from multiple cameras , skyboxes, cameras with different settings

- Effects that present non-euclidean space

- Map editor

- Dynamic lighting - shaders

- full screen shaders depending on time, visual effects

→ separate graphics effects

→ dinamic sounds

→ adapt gameplay to the changes
