Map Interface
Designed as a 16-player game, the issue of revealing where the other players species are on a map was a constant discussion. Either revealing that information or limiting it can determine the excitement and interest in the game as well as its level of difficulty. We developed a system to identify other players by the type of species their creature was, ie. herbivore, omnivore or carnivore.
)
Our original concept listed each players name, type of creature and gave them a unique color to identify themself on the map.
)
For the final map we consolidated a lot of information by grouping the species types. We also minimized the color coding to apply only to the species type and the individual player.
