Description
Cyberpunk Lobster is a 2 weeks rapid prototyping project from the Build Virtual World class at CMU ETC. The team has 2 programmers, 2 artists and 1 sound designer. The object is to create a world that the player helps character A to achieve a certain goal, and character A should be fear of the character B. In project, the player acts as a hacker lobster who has special ability to hack into security cameras in the restaurant, and needs to guide another lobster to escape the restaurant while avoid being catched by chef and waiters.
Design
In order to show the idea that the player is helping character A in some way to achieve the goal, we decide to use camera views to let the player guiding the movement of character A, the lobster. The player can view different angles of the restaurant by switching cameras, so that the player can find a way to guide the lobster to escape from the restaurant through the side door.
