Love's a Battlefield is an analog dating/combat game I made with a team of five in my analog game design class. In this game, you are a student who needs to find a date before prom. You have a week to build relationships with them through wacky event cards that can raise or lower your romance meter with certain characters. The higher your romance meter, the more likely they will be to say yes when you ask them to prom. Once prom begins your date turns into a weapon and you use them to fight other players as the prom clock advances. The one with the least amount of injuries at the end of prom wins and is crowned the prom monarch!
This was the major project for my second game design class. I worked in a team of five for the semester and we would have team meetings twice a week over three sprints that each consisted of four weeks. I designed all of the visual components of the game from the cards, to the boards. We saw this game through from concept to final delivery, you can see the entire process in our extensive documentation below.
