Steambot Wiki

thumb|500px|right|Our initial design idea at week two.

Steambot is a Puzzle Platformer Game being developed as part of a semester long Game Design course at Virginia Tech. It features a steam powered robot who must save the world by cleaning up the destroyed and polluted surface world.

Development Mindset
We want to create a game that requires both skill and wit to play. Because of this the two major aspects of our game is fast paced platformer actual with challanging puzzles tied into the gameplay.

For many of our team members this is the first time ever creating a game like this. So our goal is to create a short game that packs a huge entertainment value and fun factor for it's short duration. We feel that a small masterfully crafted game is far better than a long drawn out bore-fest. In the end we want the player to get hooked on our few minutes of gameplay and want more of it rather than getting bored and not even finishing the game.

Development Team Make-up
We currently have:
 * 5 Computer Science Majors
 * 5 Art Majors
