How the game was made
Boss Rush was designed to capture a feeling of power, adventures, and heroism. The game starts with the player becoming a hero but overtime their hero becomes corrupt and turns into their final boss form to conquer the world. I had to showcase my idea to my Game Design 1 class in order to get a group together to make it. I got enough people to vote on my game to start development. I was the main Game Designer and helped lead the team. Throughout development my team and I added an upgrade system and added Mini-Bosses so your hero could level up and become stronger. We also made cards that you could use to cast spells and attack. We had creature , weapon, spells, defensive, and healing cards. These cards were used in battle and could be combined with other cards to form grand synergies. I have brought the game to Protospiel and SGX 2022 to playtest my game with other game designers and got feedback! I am continuing to make adjustments to the game!
