Gameplay:

Controls:

Keyboard and mouse combination. For example: W,A,S,D
for direction of movement. Left mouse for actions,
right mouse for invetory, etc...

Display:

Main screen with overlay. Overlay will include:
Minimap, health bar and (other).

Other options, if any?

Graphics:

The game will be in 3rd person prepective (3PP), but
we have the follwoing graphics options:

1) 50 to 60 frame rate, but a lower polygon game. So
graphics standard taken down a notch, to improve
gameplay, loadability and general cross the board
gaming.

2) 30 frame rate, better graphcis. Aimed at the higher
end of the processor/graphics card group.

3) Or other?

Also, with the 3PP with have a few choices:

1) Fixed camara, so some kind of enforced isometic
view.

2) Ability to rotate camara 360 degrees.

3) The above option with ability to move the camara on
the vertical plane.

4) Number 3 option, with a first person prepestive
added.

Combat:

The options for battle system are:

1) Combat takes place on normal screen.

2) Combat takes place in battle area. (like FF7) 

3) Another form of combat, ie like a card battle (like
magic TG)

The hitting options we have a few options here.

1) To hit enemy, purely skill based option. Where
characters skill is the only element taken into
acount.

2) Running bar, this is a bar upon the screen. Where
the close the bar becomes to being full, the character
has an increase chance of hitting the enemy.

3) Combination of the above two.

4) Other.

Jumping Character:

1) Plain jump, to help character move around uneven
scenery.

2) additional jump, for use with jump related puzzles.

3) Additonal tomb raider type play, hanging on ledges,
jumping, etc... Taking the best elements into the
game, so game is not just hack and slash.
