Send snail mail to: Maker Project Lab PO Box 1016 Alameda, CA 94501Vaccination [alt.ctrl.gdc 2018]Maker Project Lab2018-03-26 | At the Alt.Ctrl Showcase at GDC 2018, Katy Marshall talks to Maker Project Lab about the asynchronous co-op game, Vaccination.
Installation Required (her game design studio with Alex Johansson) describes the game: "Two players must work together to keep the patient alive for as long as possible against the onslaught of bacteria racing towards the patient’s heart. One player is in charge of scanning the body, on the lookout for the bacteria and relaying what vaccine and where the other player, equipped with the injector, should administer."
His studio (Fluffy Games) describes the game as "A puppet show video game that uses the puppets as the controllers, and has an element of audience participation."
HNRY Studios describes it as: "...an experimental arcade game in which two players attempt to keep their space transport intact as they outrun space pirates through an asteroid field. As the ship takes damage in-game, physical panels will fall off of the ships 4 main modules, disabling them until they are repaired using the custom-made repair tool. The tool boasts two main components. First, the specially made tip which must be used to connect to the 4 ship modules. Second, the uniquely fabricated crank which provides actual power and rotates the tip, allowing players to perform actions such as steering, changing turret direction, supercharging their engine, or repairing their hull."
Robin describes Wobble Garden as "a hand-crafted arrangement of sensing springs combined with reactive lighting. Players wobble springs to interact with the installation and play games. It creates a unique visual and tactile experience, and will be scaleable to a several meter large installation."
The team describes it as: "A game where two or more players work together to pilot a spaceship through outer space. The engineer has the controller, and they plug colored wires into panels on the game’s controller. However, the engineer can’t see the screen — they need to rely on the other players, the captains — to guide them to victory."
