New Gametype Spud!

[cheriitea]

I got an idea for a new gamemode, Spud!

So basically each player gets a number and after they get a number they get in a square
Some type of AI will call out a number and something like a snowball will be shot into the air.
Let's say the number is 8
Whoever is number 8 has to catch the snowball while the other players spread out
When the snowball is caught, the AI will say: SPUD!
When the AI says SPUD! the other players cant move anymore
Player 8 can take 5 steps in any direction to try to hit somebody with the snowball
If player 8 hits somebody, that somebody is eliminated, if player 8 misses then player 8 is eliminated.
The game would go on until theres 1 player left
Prizes:
1st place: 400 SpudPoints
2nd place: 300 SpudPoints
3rd place: 200 SpudPoints
Everyone else 100 SpudPoints

What do SpudPoints do?

You can buy powerups for Spud

Suggestion(s) for things you can buy:

Being able to make bigger steps for 2k SpudPoints

Stronger snowball for 3k SpudPoints (for getting past armor)

Armor for 5k SpudPoints (for protection against the snowball)

I hope you like my idea!

How would the players catch the snowball?
Also, I think spudpoints should be replaced with coins, we don’t need another currency and coins serve the same purpose.

It will be kind of like throwing something down from a high point if that makes sense

I agree with Catten, PZ doesn't need another currency that serves the same purpose as the existing one. c:

And how will you be able to catch a snowball?

Since I'm still confused about things, I'll be staying neutral.

I would have to agree about the currency being coins but since I never made a minigame or have been experienced with AI I'm not sure how the snowball throwing will work honestly

As in catching it, it will just go into your inventory

Well, will you have to kind of jump up and left/right click to catch it?
Or do you just have to make sure it hits you and it counts as you catching it?

maybe the jump up and left/right click one? Im not really sure XD

Well maybe it could hit you and if it does it gives you a snowball you can hit. I like the idea of the game and as they said before another currency would be hard to manage, coins serve it's purpose. Maybe instead of eliminating the player who wasn't able to hit the other, you'll dedect (points) from them.

So basically, if you're the player who has to catch it and you successfully catch it you'll get 5 points and if you fail to hit someone about 2-3 points will be reducted, if you hit 0 points you'll be eliminated. After 5 minutes the game ends within the people who haven't been eliminated the person who has the most points would win.

Basing my opinion off of what Strawberryy said, I think this would be a fun game to play.

But how many players will be needed to start the game?

 

[cheriitea]

maybe 10-20?

 

[mochichan]

I think that the players needed should be lowered a bit as the majority of players on PartyZone go to Creative and Murder.
This new gamemode will probably be popular for 1-2 days when it is just released, but it will eventually die down (kinda like emotes).

I think that each game won't be able to meet the players needed.

Just a thought. c:

 

[cheriitea]

so 10-15? i also think that 10-20 will be too much

 

[mochichan]

I think 5-10 would be ideal.

 

[ABennn]

I think something like this would be lots of fun! It’s a very unique idea that I don’t think I’ve seen anywhere before. Very good name too! If this were an arcade game I believe that would be ideal. Good suggestion!

Any idea on how big squares would be? Would the squares be right next to eachother, or would their be a “path” in between the? How long would each “round” last?

That’s all my questions. +1 for now.
