I think this is a very neat idea! I’m hoping there will be lots of different kinds of viruses. Some additional things that you might want to consider:
- infectivity rates and R0 number
- virus mutation/level up
- medics vs viruses (like virus but does the opposite)

I like the idea of the game and the different viruses! The next feature I would like to see is more users in the game and how they're going to interact on the screen/in the game. Also I think it'd be cool to have ways to combat the virus too, instead of waiting for it to go away. Other than that, it seems like it'll be a fun and interactive way for users to go around campus.

I enjoy the idea - very unique and creative. It appears that you've got a heatmap functionality working/in the works which is very suitable for this theme as well. My main concerns are definitely with how the game works - would it be better to choose a specific type of virus? Would it be more realistic if you used actual biological illnesses? How do you handle infection? Do players die? (All these questions basically come up because I haven't seen your proposal before.) There should be some form of healing as well. In the end it's all a design decision for you but I would love to see a greater degree of realism and would like to see how this game pans out!

I think this a very interesting use of map and gps functionality. It seems like you've already considered a lot of other features you would like to implement. I personally would love to see the game divide people into two teams: the viruses and the cures. The viruses would just run around and do their thing while the cures would frantically chase after them to try and reduce the damage. I was a little unclear on how the virus actually spreads. Is it based solely on your gps tracking or do people have to actively target others using the app to infect them? This game seems really dark but I would totally play it!
Team A8:
Karthik- I liked the idea of actively going around and infecting people. This allows for a dynamic game and keeps users engaged. I would suggest that each virus has its "stats" labeled next to it so the user knows how each virus behaves with its benefits and downfalls.
Danny- It seems cool so far and I think the heat map definitely adds a neat dimension to the game. The next feature I want to see is how the different viruses are implemented and how they interact with each other. I also want to see how the heat map interacts with other players and what you guys plan to do with it.
Robert Ferng: I like the different virus characters and the possibility to incorporate different properties such as spreading speed, and how long the virus will last. It will be cool if existing virus characters can be upgraded if they meet new virus or once they covered a specific amount.
Henry Lao: I think the interaction between the virus needs to be more clear. What will happen if multiple viruses collide on the map? will new virus emerge and a new team of virus is formed? or will one of the virus die off?
