what is it?
The Tank Museum Top Trumps game was a prototype we made after taking a look at The Tank Museum tanks, Each player get cards based on tanks, every card has a list of stats from power to speed. The player compares stats and puts their tanks head to head, the tank with the highest value wins the cards and the player that ends up with all the cards, wins.
why we did it?
We decided to look at some museums around us and checked out The Tank Museum, after looking at the tanks we found a variety of cool tanks with information about them. After thinking about how we could use this information for a game we decided that we should try to make a tank top trumps game with them.
Using their stats for speed, power and more we composed the card values. and setup graphics representing the tank and how it looks in real life. Eventually we could go to the tank museum and pitch a game idea to them that would be both educational and fun.
the tools we used
Adobe Photoshop CC
We found imagery of the tanks and combined it with shapes and designs to create cards which would be used in the game.
Unity
We Used the Unity game engine to compose and create the game and its functionality. We primarily used the Unity canvas UI tools to develop it with fluid animations.
Libre Office Calc
Libre Office Calc is a great tool that allows simple management for game development, we just list out all the elements and requirements and check them off as we proceed.
