Hello there Time Jumper!
I am very excited to introduce this pitch deck. This is a journey into the 3rd person adventure comedy, TIME JUMP.
The first BBB title ever! (of course this is just a little joke)
So let’s travel to the past and beyond! *
-Kirsten Myburgh
*If you have a backpack, strap it on. If you don’t, one will be provided for you. 
TLDR; (aka - the elevator pitch)
-
Using a time travelling camera, in this 3rd person comedy, adventure your way from the past, discovering your independence and uncovering the secrets of the Time Earth Agency and the Professor’s plans to dominate time and space. Will you find your way back home before you are history?
-
Adventure your way through various time periods in history on alternate Earths and ultimately try to find your way back home.
Discover self independence, love, friendship and loss along the way.
Uncover the mystery and secrets behind the Time Earth Agency and their plan to dominate time and space.
Immerse yourself in a gripping narrative, various locations and challenges around most corners.
Make your next jump before you run out of time
-
The somewhat awkward William is late for his college class. When he finally shows up, he “accidentally” activates his professors camera which turns out to be a time travel device and is instantly sent to the Stone Age with only his empty backpack and a candy bar.
Was this the professors plan all along? Who is this professor person anyway?
-
Prof. Stanley. Is he an older you? Or is he just a seasoned professor at your local university?
Find out the secrets of who he really is, why he sent you to the past, why one version of him is trying to defeat you while the other is trying to save you.
Is he the leader of the T.E.A? (Time Earth Agency). Why do they want to control all of time and space?
All these questions and more will be answered along your journey “home”.

The Inspiration (amongst others)
Key Features (not door)
UNIQUE STORY
but relatable
Take a journey with an exciting narrative with twists, turns, secrets and many references to movies, video games and pop-culture. (80s and 90s)
Emotional reactions from players is what this game will strive to achieve. Morally different or strange. That’s for you to decide.
FANTASTIC LOCALES
feeling familiar
Explore a myriad of different locations each with their own unique look and feel. From the Stone Age to Rome, Feudal Japan to European Dark Ages, American Frontier and Beyond.
YES! COLLECTABLES
some only for achievements
Time Pages have been scattered throughout time and space for you to find. Piece together and uncover important information that you need to take down the T.E.A.
Secret Time Items that have been misplaced by Time Agents. Buckazoid Coins and Blue Data chips are also hidden deep deep.
Design + Visuals (and other features)
Cutscenes are a mix of movement + still shots with camera zooms, pans and effects.
Which older you is this? Looks like the evil one…
Textures are customized in two types of oil painting styles.
William and a table. They both made the journey
The 1990s where the game starts, utilizes smoother optimized textures.
Hello, mother
From the first level the art style differs to a more twirly oil type brush stroke with more detailed texturing.
Reason being, players do not know that we have travelled to an alternate Earth. (Spoilers!!!)
All NPC’s (human or animal) will retain a smooth texture to juxtapose the look and feel of the level designed artwork.
A rock or two
Some caveman. They took the camera!!
The HUD is clean and minimal. A compass that doubles as your health bar for example. Small pop-ups when discovering new locations or picking up items.
Inventory/Menu follows the minimal design choice. Clean and clutter free.
Music is all custom and designed in-house. “A unique vibe”.
Sound-FX are “almost” all custom.
Narrator driven dialogue.
Powered by Unreal Engine 5, TIME JUMP will offer playability on both PC and consoles. Performance will be a priority before final release.
You arrive in an unknown place, an unknown time with nothing.
Health Items - To heal yourself
Apples, Berries. A coconut? Some examples of how to repair your health after a fight.
Weapons - To defend yourself
Sticks and Stones. (may break… never mind)
Each time period would probably require that you would need a stronger weapon. Don’t take a leg bone from the Stone Age to a gunfight in the Old West.
Collectables - To collect for lore
Time Pages - x60
Forgotten Items - x6
Coins “Buckazoids” - x59 (no, they cannot be used for purchasing or trading)
Blue Data Chips - x99 (a reference to Time Commando)
Wow. That’s 225 items to find in 7 levels.
Dungeons - Normally dark and dingy
Explore a variety of Caves, Tombs, Classic Dungeons and Gold Mines.
Objectives - Follow the crumbs back home
Objectives are all geared towards finding how to get back home.
Think Uncharted where the quests were to aid you on your main goal.
Map - Yes, there will be a map
Available to discover on each level. (on a cave wall for example)
The map will show POI and the players current direction and movements.
Core Gameplay (the heart of it all)
EXPLORE
You still live at home with your mother. Now is the time to gain your independence!
Leveling Up - Survive on your own. Live life
Your IP - Independence Percent, increases as you progress in the game and complete certain objectives.
@ 100% - Time to focus on saving the Universe
Your Independence level, once FULL will change and grow over time into something new.
Conquering the Universe Percent. The Time Earth Agency needs to be stopped at all costs before all life on all Earths are destroyed. Lower this new level to zero in order to succeed.
INDEPENDENCE
Defeat or run away before you are history.
Basic Enemies - They come in a variety of shapes and sizes
Humans that don’t like you. Roman Soldiers, Samurais, Cowboys, etc.
Animals that are defending their territory. Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!
Perhaps some mythical figures along the way?
Each enemy represents their time period.
Difficulty will depend on the type of enemy encounter and weapon used.
Boss Fights - It’s me me me and me again. And the C.A.F.E
You fight yourself. A variation of yourself in boss fights at the end of levels.
Old, young and in-between. Seems like all of yourselves are out to get you. Well… not all.
The Chosen Ambassadors for Finding Earths all work for T.E.A and their maniacal leader, Prof. Stanley.
ENEMIES
Did we mention you only have 24 Hours?
The Timer - The camera clock is ticking
Don’t freak out. It’s 24 hours per jump.
Every time you jump to a new time period, you have a 24 hour countdown to jump to the next level. It resets on the start of each new level.
If you don’t have your camera or it is broken or some pieces are missing you will, unfortunately, not see the timer display. Get your camera working and in your backpack and the timer will appear.
It’s real world 24 hours so it’s quite a long time. Don’t leave the game running all day.
24-HOUR CLOCK

T.E.A - Time Earth Agency
