Group 14 Conquest of The Undergrowth Playtest and Development

Image
Group 14 Team Kint  Conquest of The Undergrowth Conquest of The Undergrowth is a fast paced strategy game for two players. Players take the role of rival ant colonies fighting for dominance of a small patch of woodland undergrowth. This game should appeal to strategy game and competitive minded players especially those who have an affinity for ants. Due to an issue with people dropping from the course after the second unit of the course my partner for the third unit only replied to my emails once and I have never had contact with them since. Due to this I did not have any help with anything in this third unit. I had to do all of the in-play test and out of class work. I did have full creative freedom but I would have gladly given some of that freedom for someone to advise me out of the main play tests.

Group 14 Kitchen Clash Kitchen clash is a food based strategy game for an audience of elementary aged children.

Project 1 Group 13 The game we have been working on for the first project is called Solitaire Dice and Deck Edition. This name is based on alliteration and the game's use of a dice and different deck rules defining this version of solitaire in comparison to normal solitaire. The game's name is specifically inspired by Dungeons and Dragons as it also shares the same D&D initials.  The target audience of the game is players who enjoy solitaire and are willing to give up a portion of its iconic challenge for less no win games and a slight drop in difficulty. In terms of player archetypes this game still appeals to puzzle minded people who enjoy normal solitaire as the core game play is similar. The game may alienate some who love the often unfair level of challenge found in normal solitaire. This is a sacrifice that is made in favor of making the game more enjoyable for people who find the normal solitaire level of challenge somewhat daunting and not fun.  This version
