Week 1
End of Week 1,
Preparing a pitch for next tuesday. I've narrowed the choices down to three:
A Jousting Game using the positioning mechanism to encourage physical activity
A Comedy Game where you trip and maim skateboarders
Airhockey using touch screen
My personal favorite was the jousting game because it sounded fun to run at people with your Vita and try to time your attacks and position your defense.
However, the most enthusiast response has been to a comedy game about tripping and maiming skateboarders. Jousting sounds like it would be very complex to write but pretty simple gameplay. Skateboarder maiming sounds like it would be a pretty standard game, we'd ham up the violence to play to its strengths. I keep wondering who the "player" is though. Maybe we make a selection menu to choose one of several probably suspects: a little brother, a police officer, a principal, a trolling punk?
And Airhockey sounds fun and very intuitive, but it almost sounds boring, maybe because I'm not enthusiastic about airhockey as a whole. Although we could always spice it up with new features, and honestly I feel absolutely certain we would have to, just to give us enough to do.
So far leaning toward Skateboarder Maiming (needs a better name)
