Currently team BABBStone is working on different projects until next Monday. Bryan, Sam and myself are working on a prototype called Rhythm Fencer in which two players fence, but must move based on an underlying rhythm. Bryan has named\u00a0Brace Yourself Game&#8217;s\u00a0<em> Crypt of the Necrodancer\u00a0<\/em>and Messhof&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Nidhogg\u00a0<\/em>as his main influences (many on the team have been gripped by\u00a0<em>Necrodancer<\/em>\u00a0fever for the last 48 hours). It will be a 2D, side-scrolling game, with Tiled movement and rock-paper-scissors style mechanics. We decided to try this prototype out, despite it&#8217;s lack of strong emotional target, to explore more rhythm-based interactions. The prototype will likely not be selected as our final concept for our thesis work, but perhaps will yield some interesting mechanics and interactions. I suggested that we try to implement a high-drama feel and one of our faculty advisers recommended creating\u00a0tension in the form of rhythmic dissonance to help hit that target.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amirelia.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/nidhogg_video_game_animated_gameplay1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10\" src=\"http:\/\/amirelia.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/necrodancer.gif?w=300\" alt=\"NecroDancer\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amirelia.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/nidhogg_video_game_animated_gameplay.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7\" src=\"http:\/\/amirelia.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/nidhogg_video_game_animated_gameplay.gif?w=300\" alt=\"Nidhogg_video_game_animated_gameplay\" width=\"300\" height=\"140\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now,<\/p>\n<p>Bob<\/p>\n<p>Gif sources:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nI_zOU8AZNY\">Let&#8217;s Play Crypt of the Necrodancy<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nidhogg_(video_game)#mediaviewer\/File:Nidhogg_video_game_animated_gameplay.gif\">Nidhogg Wikipedia Page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2nd year Grads just had their first presentation to the IGM faculty and received feedback on our \u00a0various prototypes.
