Prototype of Food Fight Worms: Open Warfare 2 (NDS) Gun. Bound (PC)

Features/Functionality • Solo play – Vs CPU, Target practice, Puzzle, Time Attack, etc. • Multiplayer • Various class types with attributes to chose – School kids, office workers, hospital patients, prisoners, military personel, etc. • Multiple maps • Environmental variables that affect trajectories (A/C, fans, steam, wind)

Theoretical Justifications • More strategy, than button mashing • Balanced multiplayer = competition = fun • People are familiar with cafeteria food fights • Food fights are rare and frowned upon

Shortcomings of Design • Not everyone has played a turn-based artillery game • Creating enough variation in map designs • Time constraints for establishing multiplayer?

Expansion - What else is possible? • Single Player 2 D side scroller? – Dodge attacks while trying to run out of cafeteria • Guilds/Clans for team ladder competition • Rotting food + area of effect = damage over time • Cafeterias from around the world = many food possibilities • Destructible maps

Next Steps in Design Process 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Build prototype with game mechanics Develop physics code User test Analyze mechanics Tweek and retest

Tossing tasty treats to cause your defeat!
