Rocciazzurra
A top-down 2D game set in an imaginary version of Rozzano.
Draft analysis: written from my notes, not yet reviewed. Nothing below claims validation that hasn’t happened.
The idea
A top-down adventure in a twisted, affectionate version of Rozzano: streets that feel real, local characters, a lot of humour.
Problem
Almost no games are set in places like this. A specific, local setting gives a game identity and word of mouth.
Target
Players of story-driven indie top-down games, and Italian players who would recognise the setting.
Why now
Small teams can ship 2D games, and indie games with strong local flavour travel well online.
Business model
Premium on Steam or itch.io, with a free demo.
MVP
One neighbourhood, one quest line, twenty minutes of play.
Validation needed
Does the setting interest people outside Italy? Wishlists after a demo.
Risks
Scope. It competes for time with three other games already in development.
What I’m looking for
- Pixel artists
- Writers who know the area
Next action
Write a one-page design and a list of five locations before any code.
Brutal verdict
Strong identity, zero lines of code. It waits behind the games already in development.
