# The Infinite IKEA's Game Design Roadmap (AKA The Flatpacked Manifesto)
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
The purpose of this roadmap is not to define exact mechanics or goals, those can
|
||||
be found in the milestones and issue tracker; rather it is to define the overall
|
||||
goals from a design perspective, to define what the game should have for the players
|
||||
to experience, and what goals they should have throughout the game.
|
||||
|
||||
## Premise
|
||||
The player is trapped in a never ending facility, somewhat resembling that of IKEA brand department of stores.
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Gameplay
|
||||
The game should encourage the following core gameplay elements:
|
||||
|
||||
### Settlements
|
||||
The players should be encouraged to build settlements, and group together to survive.
|
||||
|
||||
### Survival
|
||||
Survival should take two parts, first should be an ever-present, ever-looming threat
|
||||
that players fight against. It should be the constant factor that players need to
|
||||
survive against to progress through the game.
|
||||
|
||||
The second is the much smaller threat of basic day-to-day life, and the needs that
|
||||
come from that. This second threat should never overshadow the first, although
|
||||
neglecting it could result in a severe disadvantage against it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exploration
|
||||
The players should be rewarded for exploring the area around them, although
|
||||
exploration should be difficult it aught to get easier as they progress through the game.
|
||||
|
||||
## Player Progression
|
||||
The player should progress through the game by building and upgrading their
|
||||
settlement, gaining knowledge in how to fight and defend themselves, and discovering
|
||||
new tools to help with the previous two things.
|
||||
|
||||
Difficulty should ramp-up over time, but slowly enough that players can learn to
|
||||
cope with the increased difficulty.
|
||||
|
||||
## End Goals
|
||||
The end goal of the game is to survive, and eventually escape the facility. Escaping
|
||||
is not particularly easy though, and may require the use of tools or technologies found along the way.
|
||||
|
||||
## Player Death
|
||||
The player's death should be a potentially disastrous event, with the possibility
|
||||
of losing everything they have worked for. This should be balanced by making deaths
|
||||
fairly rare, although not for a lack of difficulty.

**The Infinite IKEA** is a survival horror game for the [Minetest](https://www.minetest.net) game engine based on [SCP-3008](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3008). The goal of this project is to make a fun and interesting game that retains the open-source nature of the SCP Wiki itself.
