Prototype of Food Fight

Worms: Open Warfare 2 (NDS)

GunBound(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 2D 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. Build prototype with game mechanics2. Develop physics code3. User test4. Analyze mechanics5. Tweek and retest

Tossing tasty treats to cause your defeat!
