Overview • A. Spielvogel is a game that is based on the natural hunting pattern of the antlion species. • You play as an ant trying to escape from the clutches of an antlion’s trap.
Gameplay • The W, A, and D keys is given for movement. • Landslide two rows if moving vertically. • Landslide one row if moving horizontally. • Field: 6 by 12 square grid
Problems • The game mechanics is very simplistic, but the whole process is based on chance. • Players don’t know why landslide happens and how to prevent it.
Problems • Targets the conqueror player style and the survivor player style • No apparent draw for a socialiser player
Next Steps • Introduce a random sand generator that induced a landslide if touched • “Button-mashing” • Surprise button to dodge an incoming landslide • Musical aspect to give the game a proper ambient feeling of doom and chance.
Alternative Iterations • Possibility of adding multiple players assuming the roles of multiple ants in the game • Introduce multiple options for multiplayer or party modes • Introduction of an aiming system for the randomly generated sand
Next Steps • Informal Surveys • Core mechanics and secondary mechanics would be tested • The target audience for our testing and surveying would be aimed at college and university students.
