Hello,
I really would like to show you some shots of our project Chained. We are 5 students (2 coder, 3 designer) and working for about 9 month on this project for our “games master degree” studies @HAW-Hamburg. I am mainly responisble for characters/enemys and Effects.
What is chained
Chained is a pure two player action adventure where two prisoners, bound together by an energy chain, have to escape from a sci fi, subterranean labor camp, by fighting enemy robots and solving puzzles.The central focus of Chained is symbiosis, which is embodied by the two player characters: They are intellectually and physically very different, but depend on and perfectly complement each other. The players are forced to work together, which is how the term cooperation derives from symbiosis. With this as a background, Chained is about fighting and solving puzzles.
Fighting in the context of symbiosis means, that the two characters can only together fight successfully. They share their only weapon, the energy chain between them, and can do combo attacks together. The symbiotic aspect of the puzzles is, that they can only be solved by a team.
Chained is going to be played by two players in front of one XBox to underline the cooperation aspect of the game, which can this way be transferred to the players. Only by sitting next to each other, the players are able to achieve the direct and intuitive interaction necessary to succeed in Chained. For this compelling experience, we coined the term “couch coop”.
Over time, the players will get access to new exciting chain modes, 5 altogether, each with special capabilities. Those modes aren’t only fun to use, but enable the players to kill their growing stronger enemies more efficiently and solve previously impossible puzzles. The players arch enemy is an all controlling computer system, directing the robots and trying to conceal the true purpose of their prison. In the end, our two heros need to defeat the system on their last step towards freedom.
Chained offers two friends the unique opportunity to go through an exciting adventure together and experience how two completely different characters can, brought together, become something far bigger than the sum of both, by uniting their skills and achieve the impossible.
