Games Engineering Project Part 4: ILLDAO!

Okay so This really should have been done months ago but i have had quite a lot of uni work which has just taken over my life the past few months and well here is why.

So if you have have been reading over the other posts you will see that mark and I have been tasked with designing and implementing a game using c++ and Irrlicht and the game we have decided to create is called Illdao.

Illdao plays as a strategic, team-based tactical shooter. Each player takes turns to both move and shoot whilst negotiating their character within a compact space.

Illdao is set on the mysterious planet ‘Illdao’. Ruled by an evil, oppressive race of space squid called The Damned Squid of Bora Bora. Their primary rivals are The Wandering Buffalo of Mimosa who travel through space, righting wrongs which are the main reason they have come here. 

The core gameplay involves two teams, the Damned Squid of Bora Bora and the Wandering Buffalo of Mimosa. Both teams will compete in a death match style arena where the objective is to kill opponents to score points.

Both teams will take turns to move their characters a certain distance. The characters will be controlled primarily through the mouse with context sensitive instructions. If moving a character they will left click where they wish to move them, if shooting they will left click on the target they wish to shoot.

Illdao is aimed at players who are interested in strategy games that combine tactical squad based gameplay with the action of a shooter, primarily between 16 and 38 and of either gender.

Illdao will be developed for the PC

So that is just a quick idea of what Illdao is and what we are aiming to achieve when it comes time to hand our project in and with a lot of hard work and a bit of luck! we should be able to do this!

Thanks for reading and be sure to pass it along to your friends! Check back soon for part 6 and to see how we are getting on!
