I built this game for the Australian release of the movie Daddy’s Home at Mobile Embrace. To the best of my knowledge, the game is a completely original idea I had to show the rivalry between the two dad’s in the film played by Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg competing to collect the most presents for their kids. This was the first game I’ve created that had a computer controlled opponent and required some enemy AI, as it turns out this is easier said than done! I would very much have like too have spent more time on this game refining the game play and adding rounds (lie Street Fighter!), but as usual there was a tight deadline to hit.
The characters were created in Poser with heads taken from the trailer added with After Effects after some heavy Photoshopping. As the game was designed to be shared on Facebook, I built mobile browser, Facebook in-app browser and desktop versions of the game to cover all use cases, along with some JavaScript to redirect users to the correct version.
You can play the game here.
