Fight for your kingdom in a bloody battlefield where lacrosse is the new bloodsport, each team is trying to kill each other as much as they are trying to score for their kingdom, run, evade, and kill your way to the enemy goal to score and win.

Start the game off with a 1v1 in the middle of the field, then either take the ball and run to the enemy goal to try to score or defend (defend by trying to attack the other players with your weapon) if you didnt get the ball. Play around the goal until you either score or lose the ball (if you lose the ball this will just repeat for the other team). If you score, reset from the 1v1 and repeat.

First reference game Mordhau

Second reference game BloodBowl

I’m not sure if theres any other game out there that has tried to emulate lacrosse gameplay in first person so I think the unique part of this idea is that, I’d like to playtest the lacrosse part of the game, where you throw the ball to and from each other.

Reflection:

I think the game as of now represents a good part of the core loop of the game, which is just generally lacrosse ported onto your pc. My only wish is that I knew how multiplayer worked before this project so I could test it there. I think this prototype answered my question quite well too. The game has potential to be fun, but it needs a few more tweaks, and in my opinion, multiplayer to reach that potential that im seeing. Truthfully the only things I feel I need to change are just minor tweaks to values, other changes are big enough to be talked about in where the idea would go next. I think the next place first off is definitely multiplayer, throwing a ball at a wall and targets that don't really throw back can only be fun for so long, I think having even one more person would be way more fun. I think this prototype was extremely helpful in realizing my idea and seeing it in action made my ideas on the game much more concrete.
