Interview Task

To complete this assignment, we kindly request that you follow the steps detailed below. We encourage you to be meticulous and specific in describing the gameplay elements (This exercise is solely for evaluation purposes and does not guarantee your involvement in a particular project).

Instructions:

• Write a concise 2-page Game Design Document (GDD) alongside a presentation for an indie simulation game of your creation. With a budget of $100,000, outline a game that can be feasibly developed within the given constraints, including milestones and realistic gameplay mechanics. This PC game will be aimed for release on the Steam platform.

The GDD must be clear to understand for any person who might not be a game designer, but at the same time, it has to be deep enough so the content is not vague. Please make it as precise as possible, please don’t pad words.

• Develop a career system relevant to your game concept. Elaborate on your ideas by detailing how players will participate in work-related activities, earn promotions, and engage with the entire gameplay loop. Explain what makes your design unique.
• Create a presentation for your game using pitch.com, and record a comprehensive 5-minute video - we recommend using OBS, Vimeo, or Loom. During the presentation, be on camera for a personal touch and use a microphone to ensure clear audio. Prioritize a 720p resolution for the video, and make sure the content is audible and encompasses your entire presentation and Game Design Document (GDD).
