design idea wk 9 — fairytale
The game that I plan to retell is The three little pigs. The game I design will give the players choice to be pig mother/little pigs/wolf. The story will start as the original three little pigs, where the pig mum tells the three little pigs to leave home. Then as pig mother, she needs to help little pigs to build protections/alarm to detect the wolf coming, like setting out traps on the path to the houses. When either the pigs/wolf win, the tower defence game of mum also finishes. For the little pigs, they will have a totally different style of game. They will be given some amount of money. Instead of building their own house,they need to inspect houses build in the street and decide which one to buy, just like in real world real estate buying. The money they hold is only enough to buy a straw house plus some protection, which may be not enough and too easy to be eaten by the wolf. If the pigs want to get more money, then they need to work. Or if they don’t want to work, then they can speculate/invest. For example, they can buy a cheap house, refurnish it and sell it off to earn money. Or they can buy in the share market and hope that it goes up and they can earn money. No matter what, the wolf is scheduled to come at the 15th day. So they need to buy a house before then. If they don’t they will be immediately eaten by the wolf. The computer wolf will choose the weakest pig to attack first, then next day the second weakest, and third day strongest. Wolf can only lodge one attack per day, and it will have some limited attempts on one pig, say three attempts. If after three attempts the wolf still cant kill the pig, the pig win and the game finish. For the wolf, before the 15th day, it can go and track down pig mum, so she wouldnt be able to build protection/trap to help the pigs. Or it can go to gym to keep fit, so it can make stronger attack and has a higher chance of eating the pigs. The game finishes for wolf when it eats up all the pigs/unable to kill the pig after the limited attempt.
