Charles Doomany + Huaishu Peng: Project 3 Concept Sketch
For our main concept we will be developing an experimental game in which two players have the ability to manipulate their own avatar as well as the other player’s avatar. The players will have the choice to interact, fight with their avatar against one another, or just simply explore different ways of manipulating the appearance and/or ability of their avatar.
The player’s avatar will consist of a 3D rag-doll/skeletal model which will mimic the actions of the player via kinect video/depth capture.
The graphic interface will provide a menu for selecting a specific body part and a manipulation function menu for changing certain characteristics or abilities of the selected part.
Some examples of the manipulation functions may include:
• altering mass/gravity
• scale
• add weapon or projectile to a limb
• etc.
