⏱️ One week
👥Team of 10
The Outrunner was a temporary real-life installation simulating an intense motorbike chase in a Bauhaus-Punk universe. It was exposed during various festivals at the CNAM-Enjmin (Eniarof, Spawn etc...)
⚙️Unity
🙋♂️ What I did :
-Defining the setup & each player verbs
-Making storyboards & presentations
-Defining enemies types & patterns
-Balancing the game
-Helping building & painting the motorbike
🧩 What I've learned :
-To work differently due to the project nature, I was way more in the garage, trying to think and work on the setup than behind a screen.
Gameplay :
The Outrunner took the form of a custom real-size paperboard motorbike placed between two giant screens.
-The front player (the pilot) was tasked with maneuvering the motorbike using a retro joystick placed near the handlebars, dodging obstacles coming from the front screen. He was also tasked with selecting on which screen the other player, the gunner, was able to shoot on, (by pushing the stick forward for the front screen or pulling it for the back screen).
-The second player was the passenger, armed with a paperboard custom gun (with a wiimote inside) he had to shoot enemies coming from both the front and back screen. Being only able to shoot on the screen activated by the pilot good communication was required to progress.
The game featured an infinite single level, the goal was to survive for as long as possible while making the best score.
Development & documentation :
A. Summary
We were two Game Designers on the team. While I was focusing on the game systems my peer was making the motorbike plans and worked on building it. I designed the enemies pattern and worked on the wave system in tandem with the programmers. When done I helped the rest of the team building and painting the motorbike!
