to kill creature.Creature has been lured to a toxic

environment.Game begins here.

The Plot

Fast, dangerous, powerful.Scary!Near invulnerable.

At first…Due to toxic environment,

its life gradually decreases.Respawns.

The Creature

Faster creature is killed, the more bounty received.Creature stats are scaled to the duration of the game:

Starts off nigh invulnerable, but speed, power, health, armor, decrease as time goes by.

Expected average lifespan to be 2-3 minutes.Creature lifespan < 2-3 min

Scale the starting stats higher = increased difficulty.Creature lifespan > 2-3 min

Scale the starting stats lower = decreased difficulty.The game adjusts creature stats and behavior

dynamically, making the game fit to the players’ playing styles.

Game is completely customized for the player.

What's Needed

Biggest risk:Development of AI.

Game depends solely on the intelligence of the creature AI.

But! There’s only one AI in the game.Everything else is basically already built into

Torque’s FPS tutorial.

Risks?
