Magic Battle

Posted by on March 8th, 2010 · Uncategorized

For my Game Design thesis I’m considering making a game in which players battle one-on-one with magic.

I’ll be using the new Microsoft Natal system being developed for the XBOX360. The Natal system uses an infra-red camera to monitor the players’ movements.

The idea behind the gameplay is that different arm and hand movements will result in corresponding magic spells being cast at your opponent.
The player will be able to duck under, jump over, and side-step incoming spells.
Get consecutive hits and you’ll build up your Special Power meter. Fill it up, and unleash a devastating spell on your soon-to-be-destroyed opponent.
