Description

• What kind of game are you planning to build?

A vehicular combat game involving cute/psychotic animals. 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

No persistant player location on mini-map. Allows for ambushes and forces players to hunt each other.

Forces players to converge on locations

Players will seek items that counter their opponent creating a focus on the location of items.

Every so often a player's position will be exposed on the mini-map.

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.
