It's official, I've started creating my game, "It's a Drinking Game!?!" So far, it's in super pre-alpha demo version, but I have something working that I'm real proud of, and I'll be adding to my dev log each week, HOPEFULLY!

Take a look at my design doc, if you like:

Drinking Party Game

Starting Title: "It's a Drinking Game!?!"

Local Multiplayer Board Game with Minigames

Distribution:
Begin as PC game, to Steam and GOG
Then to Xbox Live
Finally, possibly to other platforms

Synopsys:
It's a Drinking Game, will be a couch coop game, for anywhere from 1-4 players. It's based on a board game design with interesting boards ranging from wooden bars to sports bards, and everything in between. During the game, the player will be challenged to drink, or compete in series of interesting drinking games. Along the way, he or she will meet many interesting characters, many of which are selectable playable characters.

This game is best played with a few close friends, and some drinks, for a great time, of laughs and unsuporvised, adult fun.

The characters will be witty, and off the cuff, and the boards will be as interesting as your local bar, or as exotic, as ones you might find all over Europe. And the minigames, will be both simple, and challenging, for adults enjoying some beverages.

Description:
This will be a local multiplayer game, that is a board game, that also includes many mini games. This will eventually have 12 boards, and over 100 mini-games, but start out with 3 boards, and about 12 mini games.

The goal is drinking, or trying not to drink. It involves a circle based board, with penalties for landing on certain squares, or losing mini games, that require your character to drink. There will be a set number of turns, and at the end, the player that is the least drunk, will win.

Technologies:
Unity Engine
URP
Blender
Gimp
LMMS
Audacity

Rules:
Choose your character, from a cast of many interesting, stereotypical characters.
Roll to see who goes first.
Take steps on the board.
Some steps will inflict penalties, requiring you to drink, others will allow you to tell someone else to drink. Other blocks will be challenge blocks that begin the mini games. Those who do not win the mini games, will drink.
There will be one bartender stationed somewhere on the board, who will offer helper items for tokens, such as additions to dice, specific dice roles, coffee, or additional drinking to other players.
Each time around the loop, the player will receive 5 tokens. When his/her drink is empty, it will cost 1 token to refill. If you have no money, and your drink is empty, you'll go back to start, and lose a turn. On the next turn, you'll receive 5 tokens. These tokens can be used at the bartender.
There may be other opportunities to use the tokens, or possibly lose them.
