Goal

Turn a client's prototype into a game to test out the idea, with certain restriction. Such as having to keep the game strategic, while also being fun and chaotic.

My role

I took the role of lead developer & technical designer. Because of my diverse background I took a very central role between the client, the artists, and the other developers.
Explaining design ideas to both artists & programmers, as well as helping with communication between them.

• Plugs are safe havens.

  Because you can only shoot when you're plugged in, players will naturally want to stay near plugs. But that leads to spawn camping.

• Splitting the map in zones.

  By making it so weapons & abilities would spawn away from the plugs, this creates a risk/reward system that also felt strategic. Since plugged in players would be able to shoot you.
