Game Jam is a game development competition that lasts 48 hours and all participants (in teams of up to 4) must create a game according to competition’s guidelines. My team completed a third-person action 3D game which could be played either with a keyboard and mouse or with Mirosoft’s Kinect sensor. It is worth mentioning that I formed my team the same day of the competition with individuals that were unfamiliar with one-another.
The main theme line of the competitions was an "extraordinary" story. Whereas we wrote a short story of 2 twin sisters being cursed by their fellow villagers which led the their (2) souls to be combined; as their bodies are apart, the twin soul is in pain seeking revenge on villagers and trying to finally fuse with its other half. The game is played using Kinect sensor and your body while you try to control both of twins. Using your right hand you launch a fireball, while using your left hand you turn and aim around you. More over you are able to move around by moving your foot respectively and finally switch between twins by clapping your hands. Below you can get the game we've created during the competition. Keep in mind that was initially created to be played with Kinect; this version is playable just with keyboard and mouse. The aim of the game is to reach one witch with the other.
Movement: W, A, S, D
Fire: Mouse Left Click
Swap Witches: 1, 2
