9.10 - Escherbots

• a game taking place in an mc escher world
• could use free running moves like wall running
• players are robots
• they can replace parts
• lose an eye 3d->2d vision, static with no eyes
  • emergency backup camera in the torso, black and white
  • could use image filters discussed in last technical discussion
• 4D game, the level changes over time
  • stairs move, objects fade in and out of exsistance
• time bomb
  • freeze/slow victims and from their point of view everything moves really fast
  • victims would rust
  • could replace their parts while there are frozen
• can jump around corners and land on people
• each player has gravity independent of each other
• character upside-down can grab characters below
• gravity bomb, changes all characters gravity to face a certain wall
• fall far enough you damage your legs
• robots can fly and gravity doesn't apply to them
• could have a disassemble/assembly skill
• doorways that are like portals from portal
  • could be technically challenging
  • apparently valve hasn't found a way to make a multi player portal game
• how would spawning be handled
  • random spawn points
  • don't spawn if players are too close
  • constant spawning droids, when you re-spawn you take control of a random one of them
• story?
  • in the future they watch gladiator robots fight in an mc escher world
• paintings that can be bleed into the world
  • things come out of the paints
  • as you get close to the paintings they become 3d and you can walk into it
• could be like a halo deck type world
  • starts as plain white and morphs into a world
