Game Setup:

 

What types of libraries might you need?
Tilemap to create a grid and map of our city.

What external file formats might you use?
FBX importer to change our PNG into a sprite.

Will your game have physics based interactions and, if so, are there any special needs you must take into account?
Yes- character will need to be unable to move when they run into each other/bump into each other. Maybe walking into another character triggers a conversation.

Also buildings will have to be physics based so that characters don’t walk through walls. Maybe make roads and have physics triggered spaces around so that the character can only walk on the road areas?

Also have to figure out how to get characters to be able to pick up and give items to another player/how many items a player can carry at a time.
