Long long time ago, thousands years Before Christ, on the edge of our beautiful Earth where small but outstanding Maya people were living peacefully and happily, strange phenomena began to happen. The amount of messages about missing people increased over a short period of time
and people started telling horror stories about Unidentified Rolling Object (URO) which were observed in a neighborhood. After a few months the whole area was abandoned by the natives.
The URO were actually transport devices of aliens, which came to earth in order to study the inhabitants. One of the tests included a multi-task evaluation of physical and mental properties of individual subjects. For this purpose an alien cought a human into an carefully prepared hunting ground.
Deliverables
This section covers the deliverables for the game class.
Some final comments from Jay, Jez, and Vas (added by Bob):
This is a nice start and has potential to be a fun game!
The goal of each player should be made clear with a HUD message like "Chase the other guy..." or "Try to escape being caught..."
Overall, the game play could be improved by a much smaller level (or much bigger players) so that the other player is nearly always on screen; then it is more difficult to escape and the overall game play will be more exciting
As is, the X's indicating the other player's location should be much bigger
Shadow maps will help to ground the balls in the scene so they don't appear to be floating in the air
A higher camera position could help to reduce the distortion around the edges
The "cube" powerup would be funnier if the cube could still move, but in a labored, comical way
The current point system is confusing; perhaps a "tug-of-war" point system would be better, where a point marker starts it the center and moves to one side or the other as players receive points; when it moves all the way to the edge of the screen, that player wins.
The game could be balanced by having the players switch roles like tag---as soon as one player is caught, he/she becomes the chaser and the other must now run away
The balls could be better distinguished from one another (maybe different colors?)
