A Backstory and Art Style

The game will be called Droid Invaders, in deference to Android and Space Invaders. That's cheap, but we don't plan on producing an AAA title yet. In the tradition of classic shooters, like Doom, the backstory will be minimal. It goes like this:

Invaders from outer space attack Earth. You are the sole person capable of fending off the evil forces.

That was good enough for Doom and Quake, so it's good enough for Droid Invaders, too.

The art style will be a little retro when it comes to the GUI, using the same old-fashioned font you used in Chapter 9 for Super Jumper. The game world itself will be displayed in fancy 3D, with textured and lighted 3D models. Figure 12–3 shows what the game screen will look like.

The music will be a rock/metal mixture, and the sound effects will match the scenario.
