This is a test for a social game in Aardvark. Each player gets a card explaining the location they are in (Aperture Lab, Black Mesa before the resonance cascade or after, Mann Co, Xen, Ravenholm) except for one player whose card has a capital “T” in white over a red background. Players ask each other questions about the location they are in, trying to ascertain who is the traitor. Each player has a list of all possible locations. Once they decide they can vote and if correct they win; but at any time the traitor can reveal themselves and attempt to guess the location to win. Players get points for winning as the traitor or for guessing who the traitor is by initiating a vote, but it’s not a competitive game.
Dealing out the cards and keeping a tally of points are scripted, but all other functions can be unscripted.
Who would use this gadget?
This gadget is a party game for small groups. Social games work really well in VR and this one requires little to no movement, making it more viable in roomscale, AR, and inside social VR programs.
Assuming that you're on the team, what other skillsets would you need to make this project happen over a couple days of hacking?
I actually could make the artwork for the cards, but I am not a programmer or experienced with 3D modelling.
What will be the toughest part of building this gadget?
The toughest part of building this gadget will be coordinating all player’s gadgets to communicate properly. Since all players have severely limited information, a lack of a traitor due to a glitch would not be noticed.
