Coward
3D Hack and Slash
posted over 13 years ago
Hey everyone! It's Wes here with the first of 3 ideas from the Game pitch on Wednesday for this weekend's Game Jam! I won't be able to attend, but these ideas will and I sincerely hope that someone makes them come alive!
Coward is a 3D open world hack and slash adventure that revolves around the key concept of running away from dangers you cannot defeat initially. The idea is that when you are out and about adventuring, you can only swing your weapon and attack your foes - you cannot heal, you cannot use items, and you cannot defend/block.
The only way to do these things is to turn tail and run! When you run, you gain boosted speed, regenerative properties, and the ability to use your hands to grab items or objects that may help in your struggle to survive.
But wait, how did your hands free up? How did you start running faster? Yes, as the name of the game implies, when you run, you drop everything you own and split. That means all your armor, your weapons, your items....everything! Now, you can always go back to grab your gear after your character recovers from their fear, but of course now you have to face the behemoth that made you run in the first place without any gear.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to add them here. I would like nothing more than to see this game improve and grow into something awesome!
