Mystery project is “Desert Raiders” – Game explained – Post #3

I have decided on a production name of my mystery project, it’s now called “Desert Raiders”.

The game is a competative multiplayer arena style game for 2-4 players. The goal of an arena match is to eliminate all competitors and be the only survivor left standing. The core mechanics are simple, players place explosives in order to destroy destructible objects and damage players.

Descructible objects can drop upgrades that improve players explosives during a match. Players can also have unique special abilities, such as “dash”, “remote explosive” or “teleport”. These abilities are equipped before a match starts.

Items can be equipped to each player before a match, most change the player avatar’s looks but others enable special abilities.

Items drop randomly and are sold in a shop. The currency for buing items is “supply”, which is gathered by completing quests and playing matches.

As of yet there is only local multiplayer. I aspire to implement networked multiplayer in the future.

Right now I’m working on creating a demo. When it’s done I will upload it here on the blog. I really wan’t to know what you think about it and for you to suggest improvements when I do!
