The Epic of Stew:

1
The Epic of Stew

• The collective genius
• of Matthew Patrick and
• Stephanie Cordato

2
Original Project Proposal

• We were a little behind the timeline in terms of
  basic implementation, and a day late on release,
  but we think youll agree that it was worth the
  wait
• The game is fully functional throughout all five
  of its complex and engaging levels
• All of our desired enhancements were implemented,
  including a scrolling background, individual
  enemy trackers, a functional sword, and an
  emotional meeting of Stew and the Princess

3
Project Revisions

• Once the timeline was revised, progress was
  uninterrupted, until we ran out of memory for
  enhancements. Any game revisions revolved around
  this issue.

Enhancements

• All sprites have invisible backgrounds
• All enemies have separate and unique trackers
  that allow them float menacingly, hop
  unexpectedly, or lob granite boulders in hopes of
  destroying the hero.
• Stews sword is functional and ready to slay any
  who try to stand in his path.
• All levels except level 5 have scrolling
  backgrounds, allowing the player to explore
  vast territories in order to effectively hunt
  down all the forces of evil.
• Stew is able to participate in an interactive
  dating simulation that builds character and
  promotes personal integrity.
• Splash screens appear between each level creating
  an effective segway and giving the player a brief
  respite from the relentless intensity of each
  level.
• The dragon-boss attacks with all-sided,
  multi-colored, telekinetic wave beams (theyre
  pretty sweet.)

• All other necessary controls are explained

• Basic ConceitYou are Stew and your beautiful
  Princess has been kidnapped by the forces of
  evil. You must fight your way to her side before
  something terrible happens to her and darkness
  covers the land. As you travel, collect treasure
  as a reward.
• Level OneAs you make your way to the castle
  where your lovely princess is held captive by the
  forces of evil, you must traverse a treacherous
  grasssy plain that has been overrun by dangerous
  octorocks (7 to be exact). In order to move
  forward, the plague on the land must be
  eliminated and you must collect some treasure as
  a reward.
• Level TwoBefore you can enter the castle where
  the fair maiden is housed, you must clear the
  drawbridge from the spider-like minions guarding
  the gates. Using your sword of justice,
  exterminate them all to move ahead.
• Level ThreeThe once tranquil home of your sweet
  princess has been overrun by hideous enemies too
  terrible for words. Battle your way through the
  drawing room, attacking these heathens, to bring
  honor to the noble castle.
• Level FourSomething forged from the molten
  depths of pure hatred awaits you in the king's
  court. Be steadfast and courageous to conquer
  this foe and once again reunite with the woman of
  your dreams.
• Can you make it to the end and survive the
  gauntlet spawned from the deepest marshes and
  shadowy depths? We shall find out, my friend.
  Best of luck!

Decisions, decisions

• Meticulous efforts were made on the part of the
  conceptual teams, animators, screen technicians,
  and interactive control coordinators to ensure
  that game-play is challenging, stimulating, and
  ultimately rewarding for players of every gaming
  capacity.
• True, we ran out of memory, because not even a
  computer can contain our visionary genius. You
  can play a simplified version though, that still
  contains authentic Stew action and adventure.
