Project Summary
I created Duo for my Game Making class during my time at Dawson! For a detailed rundown of my
creation and ideation processes, I recommend checking out my class
blog!
Duo is a game ideally played by two players (in local multiplayer),
where both partners are navigating an infinitely procedural level together.
Obstacles can come from all sides and each player must pull the other in such a way to avoid said
obstacle. Otherwise, they will collide and must restart.
There are also bonus objects along the way which will modify how the game is
played in different ways.
- Local & single player modes
- Physically based rope uniting both players
- Infinite level, with fully procedurally generated obstacles and bonuses
- Beautifully generated, animated skybox
- Cutscene & interactive tutorial at the beginning of a play through
- Meditation game to make you think about the present
The goal of this project was to make an interactive experience that represents a part of ourselves,
and this is what I wrote at the time:
I recently realized that being together with
those that you love and hold close to your heart is more important than anything else. No matter
what you do, and no matter how it might look like, we all have a desire of being attached to someone
else, as you are in Duo. It’s a really great feeling, finding someone that awakens the
aforementioned desire…
