Matthias edited this page Jan 16, 2021 · 26 revisions

Map

  • 4 Spawns (1 in each corner of the screen)
  • Stonehenge in map center
  • Fixed spawn points for objectives
  • Puddles / Holes that instantly kill

Game Loop

  • Objectives
    • Capture the Chicken
    • Survival of the fittest (last man standing)
    • Smash dinosaur eggs
  • Fights
    • All players spawn in base
    • On low health, players can be finished (Fly outside of the map / towards the fourth wall like Servus Bonus jump)
    • When killed, respawn in base

Progression

Evolution Points (EP)

A player starts with 0 EP. Upon reaching a stage, EP will be reset to 0. Upon reaching a new stage the player is healed to 100%

Level up by collecting Evolution Points for certain events:

  • Kill Foe
    • Hitting a player x seconds before a fall into a cliff grants a kill
  • Finish Objective

EP are instantly awarded and visibly increase the size of the EP bar.

EP intervalls

Every 5 seconds, EP are granted for players that participated in the fight/objective. If a player was at any time during that interval close to an enemy or an objective and either moved or tagged an objective, the player will be granted 20 EP. In addition, if a player actively participated in the fight by (1) dealing damage, (2) blocking damage, (3) receiving damage he will be granted an additional 10 EP.

Stages

The goal is to reach the third evolution stage as the first player. Deaths will cause the player to respawn at their base. Players spawn in S0 in a locked state. After a countdown (5s) the game starts and the players are unlocked.

Stage Required EP Benefits Respawn Countdown
S0 - None 3s
S1 1000 unlock
Survival Skill
5s
S2 2000 buff traits 8s
S3 2000 win game -

Objectives

Periodically an objective will spawn. Only one objective up at a time.

Capture the chicken

Chicken spawns and walks around. Channel a chicken for 1s to capture it and bring it to the base and gain EP. The player cannot dash, block, or hit anything. Performing these actions will drop the chicken. Fixed velocity while the chicken is carried around (not class-specific).

Smash dinosaur egg

Channel the egg for 4 seconds to destroy it and gain EP

  • Idea: leaving the objective spawns a dinosaur

Pre-Game

Fade in. Camera starts zoomed in to the first chicken objective and then zooms out slowly while a countdown appears. Players are unlocked once the countdown has finished.

Post-Game

Once a player has reached the third evolution stage, the game updates in slow motion, and a half transparent black overlay appears. A text appears in the winner's player color - Player XY wins! Players can still move in slowmotion, but after the text has appeared, everything is locked and the game fades out to the score screen. On the score screen, we see all players. Similarly to CS:GO, they get certain Awards/Titles for ingame achievements such as rescuing the most chicken, falling off the map most often, killing the most foes, etc... Below that, the score board shows all scores tracked during playtime.
