Student Game Postmortem - Chase the Chicken

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mmmm-chicken dept.

Beth A. Dillon writes "The CMP Game Career Guide website for aspiring developers and game students has been launched, with several useful resources available to people wanting an in to the games industry. As an inspiration, the Student Postmortem: Chase the Chicken details what went right and wrong for an Art Institute of Vancouver project." From the article: "In Chase the Chicken, players assume the role of Chase, the frantic chicken, who narrowly escapes the blade of an oversized and over-zealous Chef. What follows is a ridiculously chaotic pursuit through a South American village with Chef and fanatical villagers clipping at Chase's tail-feathers. Inspired loosely by the opening sequence in the film City of God (Miramax, 2002), the idea was a bit of a tough sell to a team of students... but that's a topic for later."

      That's a fun game, but perhaps not with a blade wielding "oversized and over-zealous Chef" in the picture.
