Drift and post
Dans Sweet Couriers : Plushie Express, deux joueurs coopèrent afin de remplir des boites au lettres dans un temps impartis. Il doivent se déplacer avec un véhicule qui drift sur la carte afin de récupérer des lettres et tirer sur les boites au lettres pour les remplir.
Le challenge est ici placé sur le déplacement des joueurs et leur communication.
Events
In order to create the unexpected which complicates player communication, events are added to the map. They are of different natures depending on the maps, which adds interest to them and replayability to the game. Here a train crosses the map at different times of the game in order to split the map in play and force the players to exchange resources.
What did this project taught me
Simplicity is cool
​The speed of production of the game imposed an extremely fast pre-production, the first ideas were kept and we were not asked a thousand questions. It kept us from getting lost in too much thinking. Simple is sometimes more effective than too much questioning
Faut bien s'organiser
Making a game in 2 weeks is complex and requires particularly efficient organization. We decided to base ourselves on an agile circular organization, the choice was good and allowed us to deliver a quality game prototype in a short time.
It's nice to touch the engine
Due to my work as System Designer or lead in my previous projects, working on the LD and engine integration of the game did me good.
