Rapid Prototyping
30 Sec Mini Game
For this project, I was tasked with creating a quick mini game similar to such games as Mario Party and Fall Guys, and create something in that style. I first started with thinking of games, tv shows and movies that influence me and that I love. After listing a few, I settled on the tv show Robot Wars as that was amazing to watch when I was a kid, and it was so entertaining.
I started off drawing a quick sketch on a bit of scrap paper I had lying around just to get the idea I was thinking out of my head, and came up with a an idea of either using a square or hexagonal shape for the “Dome” the players would play within. Using my inspiration from Robot Wars, I added different mechanics for a wrecking ball, ramps with speed boasts, trap doors and fire traps scattered within the map to hinder the players as they battled it out.
I then drew up a neater version of my idea with the different game mechanics thrown in and placed strategically around the map giving the players a drivable terrain but within close quarters to be hit by and collide with each other to cause damage and take each other out.
Wave after Wave Project
For this project, the task was “Wave after wave” where we had to make a game that would have a waves of enemies coming to attack the player.
For this I came up with the idea of having a grunt working for the mafia working in a drug warehouse and was tasked to watch the supplies and attack anyone who enters. The police gather evidence on the Mafia and gain enough to get a swat team assembled to take the warehouse by force.
