NAS Game Description
You play as a distributor who buys products from manufacturers and sells them to consumers. The gameplay revolves around researching consumer interests and building and managing stores in order to meet those interests and sell products effectively. Follow the life cycle of a product from its manufacturing to its distribution, to its consumption in this 3D, customizable, real-time, strategic business simulation engine.
Create a game that can be used as a tool to show people the impacts of their consumer decisions and help them make informed decisions. This tool should take a non-industry specific product throughout the Product Life Cycle Assessment (Raw Material Extraction > Material Processing > Manufacturing > Product Assembly > Product Distribution > Product Acquisition > Product Use > Product Disposal).

Environment and Artistic Goals
General
The style of NAS can be described as very basic shapes that have simple shading with density more focused on the different mode areas. The function of this art style is to be easily readable to players so that they can build their world with simple visual understanding.
Layout
The environment easily lays out trails that indicate how each of the buildings connects from one to another. It starts at the manufacturer, then both trails lead to the distributor, which leads to the consumer. Density for the manufacturer is heavily based on the number of cows and the space they take up. The density of the distribution will be the least dense. The density for the stores with be the densest as the number of stores will be increasing.
The layout of the game will display the districts clustered together to create giant cities. While the districts are clustered, there is structure behind it. The goal is to make sure the districts are contained in a tile, to make the game appear organized and pleasing to the eye.
