What it does

This Town... is a top-down 1v1 shooter game set as a duel in an old Western town. Gun properties such as bullet damage and range are randomized at the start of a round, giving players unique strengths and weaknesses.

How we built it

We chose to build the game in Unity because of the community packages and forums that always come in handy during a small-scope project!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to deliver a playable game in under 24 hours!

What we learned

Networking in gaming is a challenge even if you're familiar with it. Though there are still kinks to work out, we now have the possibility of extending to more players per round. Also, splitting up tasks properly at the beginning of a Hackathon is key.

What's next for This Town...

Up next is a Texas Swap 'em Poker-style randomization of the player loadout: play poker for 3 rounds, swapping up to 1 card for a new one from the deck. Best hand wins the best upgrades! Additionally, more upgrades are to come, such as Riders Boots that give the player a speed boost, and Spurs that cause melee damage when players collide.
