This past June, Integris Baptist got a message about our program and thought it was a good idea for us to come up with some games and a tour for their new Cancer Research building that just opened up. So our professor talked to a few of us: Me, Mark, Jojo, and Jordan. We brainstormed and came up with a few ideas.
Mark is currently working on a game which is basically cleaning tissue cells from spreading globs of cancer. Basically you rotate around the tissue sphere while shooting radiation beam and other projectiles to "clean" each cell from the cancer.
Jojo and Jordan are coming up with a traditional card game idea using the doctors, their skills, and equipment. I think it'll have similar rules to the "Magic" cards.
The professor is working on creating a tour of the building for people, while I'll be making a scavenger hunt/maze game. It'll be a side-view seek and find style play. The goal of the game is to find all the pieces of the Proton-gun (which is a new feature at the Cancer Research Center). Robots have taken each piece to a different location of the building and the player must find a way to overcome obstacles, i.e. for boxes in the middle of the path, you must find a crowbar or dolly, for wet floors, find a mop, locked doors, you must find a key, etc. Then after all of the pieces have been found, the player must fit them in the right order to win. I may put in some robot fighting too.
I've made a test character, which may become THE character for the game. His name is Wilbur Wolfe, and he's a runner...
We're hoping to get everything done by Spring Break of 2010. We've added a couple more people recently to help us in all our of projects. It's been a challenge, but I know we can handle it.
