Concept art

Having discussed the different species and how we imagined they would look and act Basil drew up a concept design of one of the species which would be attack focused. A savage alien race determined to wipe out the others, considered to be both strong and aggresive. Check out the fantastic drawing he did!

Ideas

After some initial ideas been throw around on Google Docs we decided to create a game with the working title of Species. The game contains elements of Spore, Risk and Settlers of Catan and is based around 4 alien species fighting for control of a planet. They must gather resources to develop as a species and wipe out the other species while taking control of the planet.

At the start of the game each player picks from the species deck to determine which of the 4 species they will be playing as during the game. Each species has a different set of stats and abilities which will give them specific advantages during the game when attacking or defending and when using their resources.

Species the boardgame

This blog is to record the progress of developing species the boardgame.

The group involved includes Alan Grace, Rob Hunt, Noel Kehoe and Basil Lim.

As part of our Ludology class we have to design and develop a board game over a 3 week duration and have a fully complete version at the end of it.
