At the end of my second year I had to work in a group of 5, the goal was to make our own couch co-op game. The team consisted of 3 artists and 2 programmers.
You play as a group of moles whose goal is to reach your destination with your drill, the catch however is that the drill needs to be maintained. There are a few important factors that make this game fun:
- The drill mines up gems, these can be collected by any player and can be either kept or deposited
- The atm is used to deposit gems, these gems end up in the public currency.
- Tools can be bought using the public currency, these tools are then used to repair machines.
- The person that kept the most gems wins when the drill reaches its destination, and gets shamed when the drill breaks down.
