The purpose of this blog is to document my university project in a manageable way, however due to the nature of my project the work and this blog will be subject to an NDA.
My university project is based on the projects of the games company I work for, CCP games. They are at present working on a MMORPG for the IP World of Darkness, this is a well established IP that has generated a famous range of tabletop role-playing games covering many different genres and game play styles. This proposed MMO is set to cover one of these genres with the possibility of expansion into the other genres in the near future.
My design project will take the company's principles and suggested design methods and use them along with my own research and knowledge to create a design document for a proposed expansion for the a CCP World of Darkness MMO Expansion to come out around 2016/17.
To achieve this goal I will discuss the project with the Director of the World of Darkness project and attempt to get feedback from my work as I progress from the games design teams currently working on the WoD MMO. I will also playtest any concepts and systems I design using the World of Darkness tabletop game to see if they work for the game, an idea the company are very interested into looking in to.
My end product should be a collection of audio files documenting the WoD game I will be using for research and story, a design document showing my proposal for a WoD MMORPG Expansion and a tabletop edition of the work I did. I will also produce a research document to validate the IP I have proposed and see it will be valid in 2017, I may produce more and my plan might change but for now this is the proposal.
