Alright, so here goes. Since I think we're more or less settled on using a pump device for our exertion game, how about we list a whole bunch of game ideas we can implement with it?
Perhaps a series of really short minigames ala Wario Ware?
A 10 second game to try and blow up a virtual balloon before your opponent blows his up.
An elevator minigame, using the pumps and air pressure to raise and lower the elevators in a crumbling skyscraper (The bottom of the elevator would be dropping lower and lower off the screen and the player would have to pump the elevator up to a correct floor to grab the people, all the while keeping above the bottom of the screen, at the top of the elevator building would be a pair of helipads for both players (there were two elevator shafts). Which would lead to..
The helicopters being raised and lowered depending on how hard/fast the players are pumping. Might possibly have to dodge obstacles? (Fighter jets, etc etc.)

well that would be alot easier, than to have a whole big complex idea.
ReplyDeletebut how many mini games were you thinking of having? i''d say for now go for about 2, unless many of the mini games are based on the similar concept then copying code will breeze it.
Well actually, I was thinking of doing a group of minigames, but I got a little sidetracked when I started thinking of the Elevator minigame, and then proceeded to create a whole scenario in my head on the whole game, would essentially be an invasion scenario, an enemy army attacking a large skyscraper, rescuing the people in it via elevators (Either because the stairs were busted or.. I dunno, doesn't have to be plausible :P), then being flown to safety via helicopter med-evac.
ReplyDeletelol wel we owuld definitly need a story board or something to make sure we know what graphis and programming we need to do.
ReplyDeleteYeah, though it shouldnt really take long, and it sounds like a really easy idea to explain. All depends on how much time we can make it happen though, and we'll need to decide on which game we want to work on, this one or the shooter, as both games would require different types of pumps (Shooter requiring a handpump, though using a bicycle pump is plausible.
ReplyDeletewell the shooting one is just one game and its pretty simple in itself
