Rotatable huge blades in water
- Telekinesis able to turn them
- Water have to dive underwater
- Blades blocking water path, telekinesis help to turn it away
- After blades are turned, telekinesis also able to walk on top of blades to get across
* Can be combined with the rotating bridge of doom for maximum awesomeness.

Turbines
- Electricity power up
- Telekinesis remove item that is blocking the turbines from moving

Due to the request of Oran, I am posting updates on our blog now.

Bump.





ok seriously,

FYP Game (Week4)

Environment ideas that are "approved?".

Rotating Bridge
- Bridge constantly in motion
- Telekinesis slow down bridge

Metal
- Melt by fire
- Solidify by water
- Movable by telekinesis

Mirror Puzzle
- Water rotates mirrors
- Telekinesis rotates mirrors on ceiling
- Electricity powers laser

Electric + Dark Room
- Electric room on top of dark rooms
- Panels on ground in electric room for electricity to stand on and power corresponding light source
- Overheat if used too long (flicker then explode)

Movable platforms (Tetris Golem)
- Platforms to be retrieved from "tutorials" room
- Each player can only move the platform in a single plane (eg. 1 person move in X plane, another Y plane, another Z plane, while the last rotates)
- Work together to piece together the puzzle

- Forms Tetris Golem on return trip.

Game flow
Tutorial - Normal movement tutorials
Tutorial 2 -Players split up to "learn" more about their own powers, and reunite at the end to do tetris puzzle
Stage 1 - TBA (Splitting of players (2 and 2) + Mirrors room?)
Stage 2 - TBA (Electric and dark room?)
Stage 3 - TBA
Plot Twist - See "themselves" get killed (KILLING OF THE CLONES!)
Alt. Stage 3 - TBA (More action less puzzle room)
Alt. Stage 2 - TBA (KILL-TURRETS-WITHOUT-ELECTRICITY-GUY-ROOM-AS-ELECTRICITY-GUY-IS-UPSTAIRS-LIGHTING-THE-WAY)
Alt. Stage 1 - TBA (Mirrors strikes back room)
Tetris Golem level - "Final" Boss (Ghostbusters time)
3 vs 1 level -Break friendship time

*Try to reuse environment puzzles in game, and make them harder by adding more elements to it as game goes on.

According to Shayne's Description
I like the proportion of the guy in the middle and the back pack on the right. Let me know what u guys think.

(Louis)

My view. Sorry for being late. :/
So i guess we are going non-gender for the time being? *shot*

Fire- Smaller-than-average build with a normal mechnical arm for his equipment, kinda like MegaMan with his X-Buster, cept with a robot arm in place of it. He can have a small tightened slingbag on his back and a tube is connected to the arm for fuel. The center of his arm can open up for the fuel/gas while he snaps his hands to create fire? Probably a REALLY young adult.

Water - Average build with slightly thinner proportions. She gets fin-like arms(like Batman's gauntlets. Water Blade?) that are connected to a slim backpack(to enable that 'flowing' shape).  Maybe add a diving helmet for those underwater adventures!

Electricity - I'll probably get killed for this. BIG build, something like Brick or Heavy, cept bigger. His entire upper body gets encased in some mechnical armour, and his face also gets a 'half-armour' thingy(like the Captain when he is Borg?).

Telekinesis - Average build, but has a slight hunchback to indicate his age. Gets a light armourplate for his body and dons cybernectic boots.

Ligen's view of characters

fire:
Someone who has the most normal build. Having a tank like thingy equipment as a backpack with tube like thingy popping out to be able to destinct his/her silouwet from the others.

Elec:
Someone who has more length and skinny from the rest. To me, electricity guy would be someone who has long legs so he look like he's someone who can move fast.

Water:
Someone who looks a bit smaller then the rest to get the feeling of being elastic and able to travel through tight spaces easily. Acessory like swimming google will make it silouwet more destinct.

Tele:
Someone who have long arms and normal build. Tele would have a dual hand equipment that is sphere shape looking and have partices like small sphere rotating around his arms.


That's very briefy how I visual the character to be from my thoughts. Kept it short and sweet so you can read faster and get the message across~
[-:]

I m thinking of having the builds of the character to be similar, with their main differences being their facial features and "backpack"

"backpack" will be something like red faction guerilla MP, with different backpacks for different powers.

Backpack
Fire - 2 or more oxygen tank kinda tank with different sizes, containing compressed flammable liquid/gas. Tanks supposed to look bulky and with dents/imperfections on it. Also, there could be valve at the top of the tank, and maybe with a few dials and meters to "show" the content's volume. There will be pipes leading out to the mechanism on the arm. I am imagining it to be black and small in diameter, in order to direct quick strong burst of liquid/gas to the mechanism on the arm.

Water - Similar to that of the fire guy, but instead of having multiple tanks, there is only 1 tank for the water guy. There could be a clear section on the side of the tank to reveal the content in the tank - which is plainly just water. There could be pipes leading out of the tank and to the mechanism on the arm. The difference between the pipes here and that of the fire is that it will be clear (able to see liquid flowing) and also bigger diameter.

Electric - Ghostbusters. nuff said. Lots of dials and oscillator graph kinda display, LED displays. Cables going in and out of the "backpack", and maybe electric pumps/motors included inside. (imagining the innards of a car engine, with valves point up and down. those valves will moving and charging up to create electricity) Have a fan-like structure at the center of the backpack, to perhaps cool down the device to prevent overheating.

Telekinesis - Backpack similar to the electric 1, with a complex system. Wires and cables will be seen leading out of the backpack and onto a mechanism that is on the arm, and as well as a helmet that is unique to the telekinesis guy. He will have the professor Xavier-ish kinda helmet, with alot of nodes and holes that the cables can plug into. Also, there could be electric pads on the helmet as well.

All in all, my idea is to have a nice backpack design which is unique to each of the element, and not so much of the build and frame of the characters. The characters will be wearing similar clothing, and thus the "backpacks" will be standing out from the model of the characters, and thus be interesting to look at.

not sure if it's a good idea, but that's what I have for now. dun worry, I will still be thinking of more ideas, and will be posting them here when I have them.

Fire

Idea 1: Fire guy destroyed the door to the next level. They saw another similar group that is in that level and gets killed/terminated by turrets/laser. [Danger]
