A player may have a front-firing weapon, rear-firing weapon, and a supportive/defensive device as well as a type of frame/armor for their vehicle. Players can hold only one type of each weapon/device item and armor, and each of these are attained by driving into the corresponding (randomly spawned) item icon during gameplay.
What are the goals of the game, how do players win, how do they lose?
- The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. Duration of the game may be time based or point based.
What are the interesting or unique aspects to your game?
- Tradeoffs
- Different loadouts have certain pros and cons
- Players will pick weapons/armor based on their desired playstyle as well as what their opponents pick. This creates a dynamic environment where one player cannot snowball into victory based purely on having "the best" items, since items can be countered relatively easily.
- Strategy
- Players converge on locations
- Players will seek items that counter their opponent creating a focus on the location of items.
- Players converge on locations
- Every so often a player's position will be exposed on the mini-map.
- Dynamic strategies and adaptation
- No persistant player location on mini-map (firing certain weapons gives away position) allows for ambushes and forces players to hunt each other.
- Dynamic strategies and adaptation
- Loadouts of other players and personal preference will determine a given players strategy
- Players learn the loadout preferences of other players and can lie in ambush at the site of a preferred item.
