A new water gun RTS

by Alain Webb · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 08/20/2001 (9:56 am) · 2 replies

A friend of mine has made a game using the V12 called "Oxoloxo". It's an RTS Capture the Flag type game that uses water balloons, foam projectiles, water guns, and other equipment.


UNITS
*Wagons (assault tanks).
*Footers (foot infantry)
*Gliders (hang gliding infantry)
*Donuts (spheroid boats that have great turning power)
*Canoes (Canoe shaped water craft that have poor turning power that're slow)
*Kyaks (kyak shaped water craft that're fast)
*Note that each non-glider unit is capable of going on both land & water

EQUIPMENT:
*Cardboard (for unit and castle constructions)
*Water projectors (water guns of varying sizes)
*Water balloons (of varying sizes)
*lights (to search for things at night & to camoflauge units)
*Nets (to trap units)
*Foam projectile shooting guns (used in boarding procedures so footers can capture units intact)
*timoons (water balloons w/timers)
*hangoons (water balloons hanging from string)
*plastic sheets (for some protection against water, won't work against boxes below)
*cardboard boxes (for crashing into units to wreck them)
*plastic spike balls (for exploding water balloons)
*plastic barrels (for containing water balloons & other equipment)
*projector batteries (enables water projectors to be merged together so that many people can use them all at once)

Heh, that sounds like it could be a really fun, yet non-violent game. I remember I once made a mod like this for Wolfenstein-3D way back then. It was probably the most crappy mod you'd ever see but it was fun! :)

My friend got oxoloxo copyrighted. Hopefully, it'll get published by GG and put on store shelves.
