I. OVERVIEW
Brief Biography of Gholamreza Takhti
Gholamreza Takhti (1930 – 1968) was an Iranian Freestyle Wrestler where he competed between 1950 and 1966, competing in such competitions as the 1951 World Championship, 1958 Asian Games and the 1960 Summer Olympic Games.
Takhti was known as the “gentle giant” because of his kind heart to help others in need and less fortunate. Even though Takhti did not win as many medals as other Iranians, he is more well- known probably due to the facts he was the first Iranian to win a medal at an international competition, winning silver in 1951 at the world freestyle championships in Helsinki and has won medals at various Summer Olympic Games.
About the Game

II. GENERAL INFORMATION
Title
Takhti: A Wrestling Hero
Game Type/Genre
Story Mode: Adventure, Interactive Drama, Fighting
Versus Mode: Fighting
This will be in third person and will be educationally as well fun to play, not being focused on learning as the player will learn as the story progresses with various situations occurring with narrative; cut scenes and voice overs throughout.
Target Audience
Takhti: A wrestling Hero is aimed at fans of Amateur Wrestling (Freestyle, Greco-Roman, etc.), fans of Gholamreza Takhti and people with an interest in Persian/Iranian culture.
The aim is to produce a game for everyone to play and a game that hasn’t been done before as on various forums people wanting a game based on Amateur Wrestling, not on Professional Wrestling (WWE 2K series) or MMA (UFC games) as these are already in the market.
Platform
Microsoft Windows.
Look and Feel
The game will look photo realistic in the same style as 1979 Revolution: Black Friday to create an atmosphere for the player to immerse in and care about the main character. This will also give it a documentary feel to the game. The userShahriarMesdaghi.co.uk interface will be in the same style as a fighting game such as Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter as this simple to use and navigate.
The LEGO game has a good concept of keeping the narrative present between each level by having an open world with boundaries (until story is completed) for the player to continue to be 6 Shahriar Mesdaghi 4 Oct 2017 Version: 4 Game Design Document Takhti: A Wrestling Hero
entertained and carrying on the story; allowing the player with extra narration, filling in the plot which the level did not show the audience.
The narrative for the story will continue after each chapter by placing the player in an open world where the player must travel to the next destination, indicated of a mini map, to continue the story.
The WWE 2K16 has a Showcase mode which simulates historical events that occurred in WWE, it is presented so the player wrestles so many matches to completion where prompts appear during game-play for the player to perform a task e.g. Irish Whip opponent or taunt. The player may occasionally compete in a quick time which occurs after performing the task.
The mechanics for the move-sets will be taken from the WWE 2K EA’s UFC series as these games have complicated move mechanics with animation.
The look throughout game-play will appear as old 16mm film like those produced in the 1950s/60s.

Contact the relevant organisations to hopefully get contents in the game for the Olympics, World Championships, Asian Games, and United World Wrestling as well as the venues’ names and mentioning of them throughout which will be a part of the narration, showing of logos and likeliness.
