Teint
Description
A 3D FPS puzzle platformer set in an abstract land, where the player is equipped
with a colorful gun, that gives the world unique properties. Player has to go
through various puzzles, each one of them solvable by blasting their gun. The
purpose of the gun is not to hurt, but to brighten the world, devoided of color and
to shape the environment to solve the puzzles.
Unique points
- Changeable environment, need to move a box? Use a color! Need to climb a wall?
Use a color! The color is the answer to everything in this game, the world may feel
empty at first, but once you're finished, there will be hardly a spot you've missed
with your gun.
- Calm game for casual players that enjoy solving various colorful puzzles in a
creative way be it at home or on travels. No need for action and quick movement
this time, warm up your brains instead.
- Pair all of these with simple, yet pleasing aestetics, followed with relaxing
music and a compeling story creating a truly unique abstract experience.

Features
The gun - Sprays color! Requires ammo! Use at your own risk! (must-have)
Environment - The color of objects should define their properties, such as weight,
physics material and reaction with other objects. the color should be sprayable,
changing the properties of sprayed ground, change the properties of a whole object
(such as box). There should also be some blocks that do not absorb the color and
never change their properties. (must-have)
Properties - Slippery blue, sticky green, heavy red, what other properties for the
colors can we think of? (must-have)
Interesting puzzles - The experience of our level designers really shows this time!
(must-have)
Save - Depending on the details, the world may be composed of few small levels or
it might be a open-world with puzzles scattered around the world. (important)
Story - Why is the world without a color? Where did it all go? Just a few hints
here and there, nothing overly specific, let the player decide. (important)
Audio - What is an abstract world without an accompanying music in the background?
(nice-to-have)

Vision
Designer / Programmer / Audioengineer / Artist
Artist -> Opt out for (small!!!) open world with puzzles all around and more
appealing, but very abstract story, imagine a puzzle structured game like The
Witness.
Audioengineer -> Use level based design with relaxing music in the background and
audio-based clues for the gameplay, imagine a puzzle structured game like Portal.
Gameplay Loop
Observe the puzzle -> Solve the puzzle -> Reward the player.
Solving the puzzle consists of moving the player, moving the objects, and shooting
the gun. Nothing overly complicated - you can imagine pressure plates, doors, boxes
and so on - the classical puzzle bundle.
Rewarding the player, I believe this is very important and will probably consist of
unlocking new color, a small piece of story or upgrading the gun?
There are no bigger goals in the game, no replay value, no score, and no
achievements. The easiest thing is to create an environment for speedrunners by
timing their runs. However, I'm confident in delivering a one-time experience.

Mood
Seriously, there is not that many games with these asthetics, but no color!
