Day 26 of National
Game Writing Month! These game concepts are silly one-offs that will
never be considered for production. If you’re inspired by one, feel free
to use it, but it would be nice if you told me!
This game falls into a similar vein as Octodad; it is a slapstick physics game in which you have to control a character that is ridiculously difficult to control. Start by customizing your character by adjusting both their physical look and their personality/preferences. That plays back later when you must take your character on a date. And, yeah, don’t make a fool of yourself.
Left and right trigger buttons correspond to the left and right leg respectively. Shoulder buttons do the same for arms. More specifically, however, each trigger and or shoulder button is the action button for each respective extremity. The analog sticks then control the direction and force of the action. Facial movements/expressions are mapped to the face buttons. D-pad controls the direction of the characters eyes and point of view. Oh, did I mention, it’s played in first person.
You must attempt to woo your date and not make a fool of yourself at the same time. Read his/her reactions to your movements, facial expression and view. That is will be your indicator on whether or not you are doing well. If you do well enough you score yourself a second date.
Want to do your own NaGaWriMo? It’s fine if you start late. It’s a made-up challenge. Write a good one and include the hash-tag!
