Today we start our third and last school project. This time around we are on site while working on the games which will make things a lot easier than last time around. This time around we are also smaller teams. We are a team of 12 people. 4 Designers, 2 programmers and 6 artists. We are making a local co-op top down action adventure game. You are located in a mansion and have to drive out the ghosts that inhabits it. Between the two characters there is a flame that bounces back and forth and you have to maintain this flame, if it touches either player you both will take damage since you share a Health pool. When the flame is close to your playable character you can push on the flame to make it go to the other player. The flame will always travel in a straight line from one player to the other. It's still up for debate if the player will bounce upon hitting a wall or not still.
But we already in the first day have a prototype of the game and it's a fairly easy concept this time so we are all very hyped for this. It feels very doable and it's easy to expand upon rather than making something big from the start. Today we have mostly moved around all the computers and had meetings about the different mechanics and how the characters are going to look and things like that. Tomorrow it will be more meeting and writing things in the GDD about the enemies. Which is my current assignment.
