Board game concept
|
Today I had a meeting with my group about the board game that we’ve been tasked to develop. We have to come up with a idea for a board game and then make it from scratch. Other groups will try out our games and give us feedback throughout the process and we’ll also try their games. We started of by brainstorming for different ideas. We asked ourself what kind of theme we wanted for our game, but we got stuck. Instead we decided that everyone should tell us random words and ideas without over thinking it. We wrote down all the words and after a while we checked the list for interesting themes. You can see the whole list here. Some of the words that stuck was
We had also made a system earlier in the course with a game board that had different parts that could rotate. We really liked this system so we thought of maybe using a moveable game board again. After further brainstorming we had two ideas. One was a game about pirates traveling to the center of a circular map to grab treasures. They would have to move back and forth since they couldn’t carry to many treasures at a time. This board would be moveable and hopefully add some interesting strategy systems to the game. The other idea was set in a candy store and the players would steal candy from the store without beeing noticed by the shopkeeper. The candy would be more valuable the further in the player advanced in to the store, but it would also be a higher risk to be noticed by the shopkeeper. Right now we are more interested in making the second idea and we’ll continue to work on the concept this monday! |
