MY BOARDGAME CONCEPT

http://parkour.doginvan.com/ It came to me last night and knew it was a good idea because I wanted to get on with it straight away... my idea is to have a FREE-RUNNING style board game! there'll be two players a monkey and a man... it will take place on the city rooftops, every time a player rolls a dice (TBC) they move/free-run to the subsequent rooftop, if they roll a number that results in a gap inbetween buildings they fall and have to start from the beginning! Ive made a short animation to show the basic movement of a player.

MOVEMENT OF PLAYER - TROY BROWNE - AVI

I visualised the two characters being a topless man wearing a gas mask and a monkey with a white backpack on, simple. So am going to get on with designing them. I imagine the look to be very stylised in-keeping with my 'industrial' style.

This idea excites me because and scares me at the same time. I think I'm biting off more than I can chew, but its all about setting myself a high bar and problem solving ...... watch this space.Bo!

i like the idea for your game exept the dice part. coz it makes the game all about luck. what if you give your players a butom to jump on the gaps or smth.

Bizarre, yet still somewhat cool old chap. I'd like to know what inspired this concept?

Awesome idea. Plenty of room to be creative with animations in this idea which is important for Andy's brief.

Are you making a separate game for Roma?
