Inspiration

• Classic Wii games like Wii Sports Resort

What it does

• This is a two player medieval fantasy fighting game with a low-poly aesthetic where you are both wizards battling by casting spells at each other
• Our game has completely original music made by one of our team members
• Wii created our own 3D model of the wizard player characters
• Wii also created our own battle arena using Unity's terrain tools and free assets
• Wii implemented a basic spell attack that simply launches an orb at the opponent player

How we built it

• Unity with C#
• ableton to create music and sound effects
• blender to make our 3d model wizards

Challenges we ran into

• The WiiMote API just didn't work, so wii struggled with connecting the wiimotes to unity, and ended up not being able to do this in time
• sometimes, the API would be able to recognise the controller but not the nunchuck or would just randomly disconnect, and wii couldn't figure out why this was happening
• git being git
• wii had almost no experience in blender, so wii had to learn it to make the 3D model of the wizard
• conflicts between different input handlers in unity were a delight to deal with
• movement broke 15 minutes before the deadline

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• wii were happy with how the 3D models, environment, lighting, menus and music ended up
• learning many new skills (unity, C#, blender)
• josh wiinning werewolf
• having fun!

What we learned

• unity
• C#
• 3D modelling in Blender
• How to create electronic music in Ableton

What's next for Wii Sorcery (Team 53)

• actually adding functionality for the wiimotes
• adding more spells that affect the opponent in different ways
