Fall 2010
Asymmetrical Co-operative Gaming is creating Fusion, a game which merges three different genres of video games. We have chosen to merge first-person-shooters, racing, and puzzling gaming to show that it can be done, although the principles we are developing will be applicable to nearly any genre combination. Fusion is a game in which any player on a team can enter the world as any of the three modes and have significant interactions with each other mode on their own team, and within their opponent's team. Teammates in different modes must work together to counter their opponents' strategy in order to earn points faster. The goal is to let each player play a game type they are familiar with and love, while allowing the teams to have compelling, shared social experiences.
