Toy Box idea - MOBA style game
Posted: Mon May 18, 2015 7:31 amI was thinking that Disney Infinity could potentially be well suited for a MOBA type game. The huge cast of characters and unique environments would mean you could have lot's of awesome maps.
The big difference between say Heroes of the Storm and what could be done in Infinity is that the characters in Infinity would already have their upgrades. So it would probably work more like a multiplayer brawler with sidekicks to fight with you.
Unfortunately I am not very adept at building with logic toys yet so it will take a long time to make this. Probably won't have anything until 3.0 comes out. If anyone has any suggestions about toy boxes that incorporate this idea I would be interested.
So far my idea is to build a map with three lanes of travel using invisible walls to keep players in the lanes. Not sure about flying characters yet. Then have two bases with various layers of defenses like a typical MOBA. Each side would have a main base to defend and when it's destroyed then game over. I am sure you can do scoring in the toy box as well. The creeps is a bit of an issue, but if I can somehow get them to go for the other person's base that would be awesome. If not then I guess they might be spawned on demand from the players and just work as extra layers of defense of the base.
I would probably use the tilted camera to give it that MOBA/RTS type effect, but I was also thinking of maybe doing it more like SMITE and have a third person action camera.
I know at launch there was a cool 2D fighting arena, but beyond that I have not seem much for multiplayer PVP matches. A 2 vs 2 game would be awesome.
