Game Concept.

Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction epic film written and directed by James Cameron.
This carries on from where the film left off.

After the mining corporation was forcefully ejected from the Pandoran moon, five years later another invasion has began.
The Marines, having successfully taken back the base camp in a surprise attack find it stripped bare.
The Oxygen generation plant has been repaired, and perimeter defence restored, but the only weapons vehicles available are the ones that brought with them in the lander.

Jake Sully a former marine, now permanently merged with his Avatar has spent time arming the Na’vi.
With the help of Norm and the other scientists that where allowed to remain after the first battle, Utilising the computers from the base, Unobtanium and Pandora’s native fauna and flora, bigger and better weapons have been created for the defence of the planet.

If the marines manage to get a permanent foot hold the planet is doomed, But If the Na’vi and the scientists have one more year, a global defence linking all of Pandora will be able to keep the company away for ever.

Feature Set.

A first person shooter where the Na’vi fight against the Marines. The Na’vi want to preserve their way of life, and destroy the Mining Corporation. The Marines are there for the rare Unobtanium mineral, and will do what ever they must to get it.

A capture the flag game could also be implemented, in the pretext of stealing resources.

Look and Feel.

Pandora is heavy with Flora, very large trees and plants giving a claustrophobic feel when on the ground. In the trees, the branches are wide, creating roads in the sky, with the mist shrouded floating islands above. The visual style will the same as the film, Action, Danger and a continual struggle to survive.
