This prototype was made for Pico-View, a monthly web-zine hosted on NerdyTeachers.com.
This month's prototype is named "Spotlight". It is a template for building your own game similar to Hidden in Plain Sight, a game where you must first find your own character among many AI characters walking on screen. It is a multiplayer game with several minigames with different objectives.
We decided to try to turn this idea into a single player game with the objective of collecting as many stars as you can, while also not being detected by the spotlights moving around the screen. Move while under a spotlight, and you're caught!
The first moves you make are the most difficult since you don't even know who you are!
We encourage you to take on the challenge of building your own version of this game by giving it a different objective, however you must keep the hidden-in-plain-sight aspect.
Don't forget to share it here on the BBS with the tag "prototype-party" so we can see what you were inspired to create. And keep your eyes out for more in the coming issues of Pico-View!
