Our team name for the game jam is "[Insert Pun]" and it consists of myself and my friends Mareike, Scott, Sarah, Cairan.
The first thing we did upon forming our team was to brain storm ideas related to our given title: 'The Boiling Point'. Our initial ideas consisted of: Volcano (Pompeii), in which the player would be trying prevent an eruption by throughing in ice etc; Steam Train, a similar idea by to keep a train running and getting to each station on time; Gaizer Game, a reverse in which the player tries to get the gaizer to erupt. We started to think more along the lines of comedy and briefed an idea in whicj you would play as the villain based on the with laser
boiling the earths water.
Steam Engine: our final game idea was for a top-down game based on a steam powered space craft. The player would have to navigate their way around the steam punk aesthetic fixing breaks that had appeared in piping system. They could progress the next level once they had maintain the piping syestem long enough to build pressure to open the door to the next room.
