Title: Star Horizon

Format: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii U, PC

It will be available for any non-portable current generation console because to offer a

complete enough gaming experience to show it off fully with its complex graphics

and complex gameplay as a game it is too complicated and needs a larger screen

than portable games consoles for it to reach its full potential so to meet these needs

Star Horizon is only going to be available consoles and although it will be available

on PC due to the graphics and other needs it will require a high end PC with a

powerful graphics card, RAM and Processor for it to be able to play properly without

lag and be able to play properly.

Star Horizon is a Sci Fi First person shooter set in space and will offer both land andflight combat so it will have normal on the ground combat like many other first person

shooters while it will also feature in flight spaceship and plane combat making it very

different and unique. The game will be set in the future on a variety of different

planets all featuring unique environments with different conditions. Players will be

able to play across the different planets through the missions completed.

The market research shows that 75 % of people as play games at least once a week

and 78% of people asked play more than one hour of games a week. This then

shows that a large number of the people asked clearly enjoy gaming in some as

casual gamers and with 33% playing more than 5 hours a week these being morehard core gamers. This then shows there is clearly a large gaming market.

When looking at the markets for games four of the top five gaming genres were

action, adventure, first person shooter and role play games and the only other game

genre was sports games such as Fifa. This clearly shows that for our game the best

genre would be to take advantage of this by selecting a shooter or adventure game

in some form so we have now selected to create a first person shooter and RPG

game as between these they took up 35% of the votes and are clearly very popular

gaming genres. It doesnt make such a significant difference in whether it is original

or a series as 44% of people will try out a new game. The most popular gamingplatform however were most surprising however though as we knew the Xbox was

popular and that came out first however next best was PC and then came

iPod/iPad/iPhone which was a big surprise and then came PS3s. For our teams

game we have selected three of these four however we do not feel it would work on

portable gaming devices and the Wii style of gaming would not suit it.60% of people

asked will spend 40 on a game which about normal for any game so this is good as

people will pay and there wasnt too much of a difference between people play on

their own or with friends as 45% of people will happily play a game on their own.

The most important parts of selling and features that people enjoy in a game are that

there are multiplayer features and that there is a storyline however people still also


2/22

like a bit of action in a game. The main reason people buy a game are that people

have played the series or a friend recommended it so clearly it is easier to sell well

by a series and so in order for the game to do well people would have to play the

demo and the advertising posters created would have to be good but most people

would not buy merchandise for the game with 42% buying merchandise. One thingthat was important is the game setting and in the research modern day was clearly

the most popular with 31.5% however real places, sci fi and real day were all very

similar with about 10-15% so we selected Sci Fi games which are not as popular as

some games however there is clearly a market for our game.

This questionnaire was done mainly among 16-19 year olds which is useful as this

age group is known for enjoying games and it is teens that enjoy games.

The demographic characteristics we aim to reach for this game are gamers who are

16 years and above, we are aiming the game at males more than females as statics

show males play more games than females. The game is not family oriented as ithas violence displayed in its missions, although it can be played on multiple remotes

among friends and online. The price of the game will be aimed at people with

standard incomes, so the sale of the game will be at its most productive. The style of

the game will be more attractive for the first person shooter type of gamers, this

means it would be siting amount other first person shooter games in the stores. If

this game is successful and customer like the game then the customers will become

loyal to the Team Meal Gear Company and this will help us grow.

Star Horizon will be released in the major European languages such as English,

German, Spanish and French and also will be released in Japanese as these are

some of the most widely spoken languages in the world other than Mandarin

Chinese however China will not feature a great deal of the sales of the game so this

language has not been included however the game will be included in most other

major languages and also will be included in Japanese as this is one of the most

gaming and technology centered countries worldwide and will contribute to a lot of

the sales of the game

The game will be sold in Japan because they love games and technology, they willmake up a lot of the sold games which we will be selling. If the game got really

popular in Japan then it could become a big success as other people from other

countries may buy it. The game will be sold in Europe because Europe is also very

technology based in that in the major European countries such as the UK France,

Spain and Germany many teenagers enjoy gaming and have a games console. The

game will be sold in in the USA because it is such a large and powerful country with

over 250 million people, and they are quite wealthy and technology based many

teenagers enjoy gaming on a console of some kind. The game will be sold in China

and other major Asian countries because China is one of the worlds most powerfulcountries and because it has such a strong economy they will be able to afford


3/22

games however it wont contribute to the largest sales per region due to the number

of children in China being very limited. Our game will also be sold in Australia as

many people in Australia are able to afford and enjoy gaming and our game also

features wolves which are based in Australia so they will be able to relate to it more

and will want to understand and play Star Horizon.

Overview

The game is about a race of wolfs which have evolved so they can talk and

communicate with each other. Like man though they have conflict with other animals

and war breaks out there are three good armies, Rakuen, Hyena Liberation Army or

HLA and AeroWolf and you have to fight against the bad hyenas and defeat them. In

the game players have to complete a number of missions before you complete a

level, the more missions and levels you complete the harder they get. Players then

will complete one planet with one environment and in the next level will move onto

the next planet which will feature a completely different environment and creatures.

The game will be available on most game consoles however it wont be available on

small hand held devices like the DS and PSP. This is because the game picture

quality needs to be very defined and if the game was to be on DS or PSP then they

picture quality of scenes will be affected. Also the graphics and detail will be too

great to be able to be captured fully on a 5 inch display so the game would have to

be toned down in the amount of detail but we do not want to do this for the purpose

of releasing on a handheld console. However as technology improves it may be

possible to have the game on the handheld game console in the future.

The game is a first person shooter set in the future so it is fiction and isnt real, Its

set in different environment for example in space and on different planet. The

audience for the game will be people over 16 because they will have most in

common with this game and it has a moderate amount of violence in it which some

younger gamers may find offensive. The game must also be checked by PEGI to

make sure it is up to standard and not too offensive; the game will also be reviewed

by a number of companies which may affect the sale. The game will be sold all overthe world so it will important to make sure that the language in the games will be


4/22

changed in the individual games, so gamers will be able to understand what is

happening and what they should do in the game.

Objectives

The main objective of the game across the whole of the game is for the Hyena

Liberation Army, Rakuen, and Aerowolf to recruit further covering the many planets

with each army being on different planets and together they have to help each

individual planet from Hyena. Each Army has different qualities and individual skills

they are able to use and with these skills they will complete small objectives which

together result in them helping the planet. For example one of these smaller

objectives that would be set on a largely populated planet with major cities would befor HLA and Aero Wolf to recruit in order to stop Hyena sending out high profile

targets of the planet of Crocotia.

By completing sub objectives such as that mentioned above these all contribute in

helping one individual planet. After this then HLA, Rakuen and Aerowolf move from

one planet with one environment to the next planet in the solar system with a

completely different environment. The planet they are at will then determine the sub

objectives they will get so on an icy planet the main objective would be to stop

Aerowolf melting the ice which would cause mass destruction and loss of life so

HLA, Rakuen and Aerowolf must complete a series of mini objectives to achieve this

and help the planet before moving on the next planet. Also how players go about

objectives will determine and affect the next objective so in the recruitment minor

characters could be killed making them unavailable and making it harder to complete

objectives. The overall aim of the game is to help the solar system in which they live

and to stop Hyena taking over the star system.

Also in the game to differentiate the game and keep players interested for longer

there will be trophies available on the play station network and achievements

available on the Xbox. These will show up a gamers ability as these will be split into


5/22

easy objectives which will be completed by carrying out normal in game objectives

that players have to complete just by carrying out the story as they go along. Then

there will be medium Achievements which players can get for doing quite well at a

level such as killing a certain number of enemies, getting so many weapon and

armor upgrades and also for destroying vehicles and killing a boss at the end ofhelping each planet. Lastly there are also hard objectives which show up hardcore

gamers such as killing a boss with just a knife or on the hardest level of difficulty.

Also there will be these achievements for getting all upgrades and completing all

levels on the hardest level of difficulty and lastly for completing a mission within not a

very long time period or without dying.

For these achievements or trophies these can for some take a long time to achieve

so are able to keep a player interested in the game for a much longer period of time.

For these the players earn gamer points and trophies and so for example a player on

an easy achievement a player would get 5-10 Gamer Points or a bronze trophy, amedium difficulty 20-25 Gamer Points or a silver trophy. For a hard achievement

players would earn 30-50 Gamer Points or a gold/platinum trophy. These enable

other players to see how skilled another player by how many gamer points or

trophies they have achieved in the game.

To make the game hard also players are able to redo the game on a harder level of

difficulty which will also be required to get some of the achievements. These levels of

difficulties will be easy, medium and hard. These can be used for some

achievements such as complete a level on hard setting.

Theme

The game is a Sci-Fi adventure which will be set in Space which is quite unique in

itself as their arent many futuristic space style combat/ first person shooter games

and will be set across many planets with very different environment. It will be a

competitor to Halo which is exclusive to the Xbox and Crysis. It is a first person

shooter.


6/22

This will allow us as it is set in space to create the whole story as we will be able to

have very unique characters such as Hyenas, Wolfs and Dogs which other than star

fox which is more aimed for children have not been used as the main characters in

such a game. Also our game is different to this as it is aimed at a much larger older

audience as it is aimed at 16+ teenagers so our game is taking on a completely newstyle of game for a different audience.

Also due to the game being set in space it allows the game to basically be

redesigned from Call of Duty as the game will take place across many different

planets allowing a completely different style of play. These planets the game will take

part across will feature many different conditions that you cannot see in any other

game so there will be a major futuristic planet and then there will be very desolate

planets with not much trace of life such as a desert planet and also an arctic planet.

Because of these planets the game on each planet will have the standard enemies

which will be Hyena however on each planet they will be able to team up with evilminions such as on an arctic planet Hyena can gain Polar bear minions and in desert

planets they can have lynx minions and these can vary a lot depending on the

conditions.

Also another element of the game due to the Sci-Fi content of the game that is able

to be unique will be the games vehicles that can be used so we have for Hyena used

different vehicles to Rakuen, Hyena Liberation Army and Aero Wolf so Aerowolf will

have the main colours for their vehicles as white and yellow and Hyena will adopt the

colours of red and black. These will then be used for the vehicles and due to the

game being set in the future we have tried to look at existing vehicles such as tanks,armored buggies, helicopters/ spaceship and fighter planes. Although we have used

existing models as the basis for such vehicles the tanks used have been very future

inspired so Aerowolf have a very rounded but aggressive futuristic tank, a futuristic

style spaceship/ helicopter which is shiny white, a concept for an armored buggy and

a futuristic space plane concept vehicle .For Hyena they will also have very different

vehicles so they are slightly older and less futuristic in that they will use a Jeep style

armored buggy in dark green, a full on aggressive very harsh edged futuristic tank,

currently existing style fighter jets and lastly Hyena will also have an existing style

Helicopter that is cutting edge and aimed for speed which will also be armored and

have weaponry for Star Horizon.


7/22

As you can see from the theme of the game being Sci-Fi we have used existing

vehicles and environments and creatures as the inspiration but we have been able to

make this our own by while keeping some areas of the game similar to how they are

now we have also been able to add a modern twist to make our game very Sci-Fi

based.

Features

The game will have an activity feed which the will be able to see what other players

are playing in the game, this shows the player that they are not playing alone and

the game, this feature may be used to entice the player to play the game more and

in the Easter eggs which have been hidden. They can find the Easter eggs by using

Wolf: Wolf/Age 25The leader of the mercenary team Aero Wolf and the protagonist

of the game. His true name is unknown, but he has earned the respect of many high

ranking military officials both through his fathers name and his own. He is a genetic

marvel as he is an exact copy of his father physically and can recall memories and

experiences that from his ancestors. This has allowed him to learn and perfect new

skills in a very short amount of time. He has always held a grudge against Kruger for

the murder of his father and he says that he wont rest until Kruger is dead. After his

fathers death he inherited his ship and took up the mercenary name Aero Wolf.

When he learned about Kruger arming the HYENA faction, wolf took the mission tokill Griim and Kruger without any questions.

Kenita Jackson: Husky/Age 24A Rakuen operative and one of the best soldiers in

the Rakuen army. She has become one of the most skilled operatives with any

weapon and vehicle. She joined the team to atone for her last mission that ended

with the death of her sister. She believes one of the HYENA generals was

responsible and wont stop until she finds the one who killed her sister.

power; Ed was regarded as a great soldier with a good sense of humour. However,after refusing to join the HYENA faction his wife and child where murdered by Griim.


9/22

Him and Riggsure formed escaped the hyena home world and formed the Hyena

Liberation Army. Ed because increasingly antisocial and depressed thinking about

the death of his family. Once he heard that aero wolf where going to stop Griim he

joined as he knew he would have more chance avenging his family with team Aero

Wolf than he would if he stayed with the H.L.A. Him took an instant liking to wolf asthe both have very similar goals that they can achieve without clashing with one

another. They both agree that wolf can have Kruger, but Griim is for Ed to kill.

Cooper Tomm: Husky/Age 25 wolfs best friend and most trusted member of Aero

Wolf. He has known wolf since he was young making him a very loyal friend. He is

known to be cocky when it comes to fighting and sometimes lets it get to the best of

him, making stupid mistakes that has put his and wolfs life in jeopardy. He gets along

well with the rest of the team especial the female members. However, he has an

unnecessary hatred towards Ed for the simple fact that he is a hyena. He sometimes

makes it difficult for the team to co-operate as he will blame anyone accept forhimself and wolf.

Red Lecky: Fox/Age 23 a funny and good hearted kind of guy who enjoys keeping

the rest of the team in as good mood. He does not have a proper motive for fighting

in the war apart from helping to end it. He is the kind of person who can turn the

most useless person and make something out of them, which is why he convinced

wolf to recruit Alex despite being practically useless to the strength of the team.

Vel Blackburn: Badger/Age 27 one of the most dedicated member of the entire

team. He had been with wolf and Cooper since the beginning and continues to serve

with them. He was one of the most decorative cadets in the flight academy and

became a must have pilot for the Aero Wolf team. He does not socialise with the

team most of the time because he is too busy in the cockpit.

Jackal: Jackal/Age 26a very skilled assassin who focused his training mainly on the

art of Close Quarter Combat and the art of sniping. He was hired only by the Rakuen

army to assassinate high valued targets, but after his parents and younger brother

where murdered by corrupt mercenaries, he became a bounty hunter and tried to

hunt down those responsible for his familys death. He became very antisocial during

the year and finds it very hard to trust others. He was sceptical at first when joining

team aero wolf but learned to trust most of the members especially wolf. He became

very protective towards Alex as he is the youngest member of the team and reminds

him of his younger brother. However he does not trust Monroe on bit as he suspects

her to be sabotaging the team equipment and leaking vital information to the HYENA

faction, but he has found no evidence to back up his hunches.


10/22

Lydia Monroe: Fox/ Age 29 a highly skilled operative the Rakuen army and very

strong willed. As soon as she joined the team she began to make changes that the

rest of the team found very frustrating. Unlike the rest of the team, she takes ranks

very seriously and talks down to the rest of the team apart from wolf. Although she

has proven to be a very vital addition to the team suspicious things have happenedto the team since she joined.

Alex Redding: Cat/Age 19 after team aero wolf helped save his planet, Alex

practically begged to join the team despite having no military training or knowledge.

Whereas the rest of the team turned him down, Red Lecky explained to the team

that he will need co-pilot to use the guns on the drop ship. Alex was allowed on the

to on the condition that Red trains him to operate the drop ships weaponry. Although

he is practically the most useless member of the team he manages to impress the

members with his abilities to learn new skills in such a short time period-something

him and wolf have in common.

Scott Mashika: German Shepard/age 25 one of the first team members along with

Cooper and vel. He is extremely loyal to the team and a close friend to cooper.

Although he his is the most relaxed and laid back member of the team, he can hold

his own when it comes to a fire fight. He is the kind of guy who wants to be friends

with everyone and hopes that one day war will be a thing of the past.

General Forman: Doberman/Age 47 the General of the Rakuen army and a friend to

wolf. He is considered one of greatest military leaders of all time as he helped turn

the Rakuen army into one of the most elite forces ever known, allowing the planetand its settlers to live in peace for over 15 years with a single war. Before his death-

Forman would hire wolfs father for classified missions to keep any faction from

attacking the planet. He then turned to wolf once he became of age and took his

fathers place. Forman makes sure that his men come first in any situation which has

increased his popularity among the troops and their families. Everyone on Rakuen

feels safe with Forman in charge, but he fears he will not be able to keep the peace

when the HYENA faction comes.

General Riggsure: Hyena/Age 39 considered to be one of the most elite

commanders of the Croctutian army after excessive training and his great knowledgeof tactics. He was the first to form a resistance when the HYENA faction began to

take over. Unfortunately, he was completely outnumbered and out gunned and lost

many of the resistance. Before he fled, he helped his apprentice Ed Hargreen

escape the planet before they were both executed for treason. As soon as left the

planet Riggsure and Ed rounded up the rest of the out casted hyenas and formed the

Hyena Liberation Army.

Patriarch Griim: Hyena/Age 39 the ruler and dictator of the HYENA faction. After

acquiring Kruger his lust for power got the better of him and used Krugger to help

him take of the hyena home world of Crocutia. He is feared for having no


11/22

compassion, leaving no one alive and for crushing anyone that tries to oppose him.

he blames the Rakuen army for the death of his parents many years ago, so by

using is military knowledge, the HYENA faction and Kruggers technology, he believe

that he will be able to invade Rakuen.

Kruger: Panther/Age 47 a brilliant mind that allowed money to get the better of him.

Kruger was praised for his outstanding knowledge of science that allowed him to

create powerful weapon and vehicles for the Rakuen army, giving them the upper

hand to anyone who opposed them. Unfortunately, Krugger was asked to design

new weaponry for a rouge faction with the promise of money beyond what Rakuen

was paying him. He accepted, hoping he could earn extra money without any

consequences if he played his cards right. However, he was discovered by Forman

and was to be executed by wolfs father and his team. With the use of new weaponry,

Krugger defeated the mercenary team and killed wolfs father himself. Many years

later, Krugger became a slave to Griim as he was forced to create advancedweapons for Griims army without pay or freedom.

Mechanics

In the campaign mode players will earn points depending how well they do in a level

and this will then be able to be converted to money. They will be able to earn more

points from the number of enemies kill and the manner in which you kill them so for

example a headshot with a pistol could earn more points than a standard kill with a

sniper. Also stealth kills would be able to earn more points so the better and more

impressive the kill carries out the more points earned and the more kill the more

points a player is able to earn. Also players will earn points when they have killed a

boss at the end of a major level. The better they kill a boss the more points they will

be able to earn so for example the more health a player has left the more points and

the manner in which they kill the boss will earn more points so like stated above the

slicker and more impressive the kill the more points earned. Also players will have to

find a balance between getting a lot of kills and the time taken as the shorter the time

taken for a player to complete a level the more points they earn however if a player

waits a long time in a level trying to get as many kills as possible that would limit their

chances of getting as many points as possible for time bonus. Players also get more

points by earning more achievements and harder achievements will earn more

points. This will also however to earn points from this take a lot longer to carry outand get as many points. Players for each level of difficulty harder will earn 25%

however if they go on a level of difficulty to hard they may end up earning less points

than on the next level of difficulty down as they may not be able to get as many kills

and use more health packs. The last method players have of earning points is by

using less health and grenade packs will earn players more points so it is better to

pick up and use less as it makes a level significantly easier and the way to earn

more points is by completing levels with more skill.

These points players earn will then be used to be able to purchase upgrades. There

will be many weapon upgrades such as better sights to be able to complete longer

distance kills so the sight will allow more zoom to a limited extent and increase the

clarity so it will be easier to see the enemy players want to kill. Also many other

attachments will be available such as a silencer. Next type of upgrade will be that

players can have an upgrade so there will be. Less recoil which will increase the

accuracy of the shots as it will move away less when taking a shot. This will then

make it more likely that where you aim you will hit. Also available will be the ability

for weapons to cause more damage. Also available will be the ability to increase the

magazine size and use other methods to give the weapon used more fire power and

lastly the ability to change the ammo type used so different ammo types will be ableto carry out more damage however may take longer to reload and slower to shoot


20/22

but can cause more damage. However there is the chance that if weapons arent

upgraded properly players can cause a weapon to get worse by making it less

accurate and also causing it to jam more with different ammo used. Also players

have the ability to upgrade the armor they have and change the way it looks. This is

possible as players can get shield upgrades so players can get different strengtharmor but the armor may be heavier so players for example could get steel armor

however this would be weaker and weigh more than carbon fibre and titanium so

players with steel armor wouldnt be able to take as much damage and would be

slower but to get carbon fibre armor would cost a lot more points. Also with armor

players can customize their appearance and this armor will have different affects

such as speed or strength or health. This is possible as players can get different

types of armor, different material armor. Players can also customise their armor once

they have purchased it to change the colour and material and how it looks to make it

better.

Players will also earn XP from how they go about the game and how they carry out

kills and other abilities and these can be determined by the weapons they use and

are a way they develop a bit of a character and personality so there will be three

different personalities. These will be sprint which will be determined by carrying out

stealth fast and skillful undetected kills. They can get health upgrades by using close

combat harder face to face close combat. Lastly players will be able to improve their

strength by melee attacks. As players go through the game they will be able to carry

out more upgrades on each of these abilities and these upgrades will become much

more apparent later on so players will be much better at a certain killing method and

specialise however they could also try carrying out different kills with different

methods so they will be not as good at any method of killing however they will be

much more adaptable depending on who they are aggainst to carry out different

types of kills.

These different characteristics will be carried across to multiplayer and will be able to

be improved and also players can choose what type of species they are only in

multiplayer mode. This will mean that players will be able to change to species from

different planets however to encourage players to play in the campaign mode more

they will only be able to play as certain species by unlocking them in the campaignmode once they have either seen them or actually completed that planet. This will

encourage players to play through the campaign mode much more than they

otherwise would to be able to unlock each of these different species to play as in

multiplayer mode.

Story

Prologue: The brilliant scientist Kruger is hired by a rouge faction to create weapons

against the planet of Rakuen. When Rakuen learn of the terrorist threat and Krugers

defection they send the mercenary team Aero Wolf to eradicate the faction andcapture Kruger. The team are outnumbered, captured and executed. Rakuen then


21/22

send a large force as a second attempt which is deemed a success. With the faction

illuminated and Kruger captured, Rakuen try to decide what to do with him. They

realise that Kruger is too dangerous to be held in a prison on Rakuen after a number

of escape attempts. Griim representing the hyena home world of Crocutia explains

that Kruger will be safer in a prison on his planet as the hyenas have some of thehighest secured prisons in the system. Everyone agrees that this is the best cause of

action and Kruger is sent the Crocutia with Griim.

10 years later: Codename: Wolf has inherited his fathers ship and continues the

Aero Wolf mercenary unit with his own team. They become highly praised by the

Rakuen army for their attempts at keeping the local system safe from terrorist and

other threats.

5 years later: A civil war engulfs the planet of Crocutia between two hyena factions.

One of those factions is led by Griim. Eventually Griims faction overthrows the

opposing faction and takes power of the planet Crocutia and its army. The hyenas

that rebel against Griim are exiled away from their home world. The Hyena

Liberation Army is formed. Griim then forms the HYENA Faction to remove the H.L.A

and decides he wants to take over the rest of the system.

Rakuen learn of Griims rise to power and realise Kruger is supplying the weapons

for the HYENA faction. Soon reports of large hyena forces invading distant colonies

come in, Rakuen prepare for war.

Aero Wolf team are called upon to assist taking the colonies back from the HYENA.

They must recruit specialists to make their team larger and stronger. They set out

the recruit their first new member of the team. The must travel across the galaxy to

other planet and space stations in order to gather the entire team. However, they will

receive mission objective along the way to assist any local alliance from the HYENA

faction. They will also need to work together to take down the HYENA Generals that

are commanding the invading forces.

Environments

In the game you have a different environment for

every game, for example halo the environment is

futuristic set in the future. And in the need for

speed the environment is a road in different cities

and places in the world. In Star Horizon the game

will have a variety of environments like planets

and space the, earth and the lava filled craters.

Different environments can damage or either hurt

the character, for example if the character was

under water then they would have a certain

amount of time before they would drown. Then if


22/22

they are damaged and they are in a environment which is high in oxygen then there

health will rise faster than just a normal environment. When in the environment you

can get health to help you get better if you are hurt. The different environments will

have different colours to make the game more exciting, the environments may have

falling debris which may also damage the character.

The environments will be on different planets, this means that on one planet it will be

really cold and icy, then on another planet it will be city scape and lots of buildings.

On one planet the environment

will be a desert and will be

really sandy and hard to walk

in because of the light and

heat. Lots of metal and

reflective things will shine the

sun light into your eyes this

means it might make it harder

for the character to shoot

something.

The different environments will

also have different dangers for

example in the desert you will

have giant scorpions and

snakes, then on the ice planet you will have to watch out for polar bears and deatheating ice sharks. However in the city scape planet you must look for out for other

characters and fast moving vehicles which may run you over.

One environment will be in the forest where it would be scenic and this would be a

significant location in the game as there is a lot of life this would feature HLA,

Rakuen and Aerowolf meeting up due the environment being abundant in life and

also it would be able to look very impressive because of the environment.
