The SmartWall systeem.
My assignment of the internship was to make a game for the SmartWall. It was a super fun assignment because I like games and sports. I also had the assignment to recreate the SmartWall application that is used to control the SmartWall system. It had a new and refreshing interface where I was allowed to assemble the UI.
Research & Ideas
I played and studied every game the SmartWall had on the first day that I was there. It was exiting to see what kind of games they had, how the system worked and how much fun it can be for people to use it! Not every game was perfect but a lot of them were well made and thought off. Some had some problems with the hit collision or the rules that the game had.
It was now time for me to think of a game that was different then all the other games they had. My idea was a game where you had to think of tactics, aiming accuracy and movement on the play field. I wanted to create a local multiplayer game where players would play 1vs1 battles or group vs group battles. A game that stayed fun and is not exactly the same as the other round.
Design approach
The game can be played as 1 vs 1 or group vs group. Every team has to hit the objects on their half of the screen to achieve points for their team. The game can be time battles where the one with the most points wins after the clock was finished. There are a lot games that can be though off by this approach.
The game can be played as 1 vs 1 or group vs group. Every team has to protect the main object of their team. This can be vs the computer AI that attacks both teams at the same time. There can also be side quests for achieving points while doing this.
The game can be played as 1 vs 1 or group vs group. Every team has to protect the main object of their team and destroying the other main object off the other team. This can be by a computer AI helping both teams firing at each other or by the players. There can also be side quests for achieving points while doing this.
Design sketches
This concept was the winner that the company picked out to be made!

Still a work in progress! I do not have that much free time now and a lot of things are going on with projects and work. This is now a hobby work that I will finish when I can. I had 1 big project and this game as assignments. It was to much work to complete the one but leave the other for an other time. The game was a extra off the assignment. Not the main assignment of the internship.
