Week 4: Paper Prototype Discussion

The group met up on the afternoon of October 1st (Week 4) in order to iron out the details regarding the paper prototype. During this session, we decided to let the user select seven characters in order to form a team (14 characters in total) and decided to use 4 types of food: sausages, peas and corn, durian (an Asian fruit) and cream pie. Each one had its own status effects: peas and corn did one damage per turn, sausages had a 50% chance of the player dealing an extra attack, durian had an area of effect ability and cream pie made the user lose their turn. I drew the characters, while Jack and Geri took care of the food art.

The paper prototype, which was decided upon to resemble the existing Battleship game, obviously required a board. Scott and Darrell created one but decided it was lacking, so creating a new one was Jack and Darrell’s task, while Geri’s was to finalise the character cards. Scott and I were to create the game pieces.

Below is some very basic character art of a Kung Fu Fighter:
