Designing Game Elements: Objectives (Part 2)

Designing Game Elements: Objectives

What is the objective of the game? What are the players trying to do?

Following upon the planned theme of Sword Art Online, the common objective of all players is to escape from the game world by defeating its final boss. While the main goal is straight forward, players will first have to complete a number of objectives in order to be able to attempt the final objective.

Breakdown of Objectives in Sequence

Players need to constantly improve their power in order to be successful in completing the following objectives.

• As the game starts, players need to first find the boss room of the first level, allowing them to face the first boss.

• The next objective is to defeat the boss of that level, granting them access to the next level.

• As new levels are unlocked, players will repeat the process for each level, until they defeat the boss of the final level, at which point all players achieve the win condition.
