But now for something more substantial. I took on what little criticism ATO received in its short lifespan for my next trivia title, Avatar Trivia Party. I had a very important realisation during the planning stage. People expect a scoring system in their Trivia games, and almost every Trivia game has a simple scoring system, why not do something different? Like, say, a fully-featured board game?
Your goal is to reach the board's finish line before anyone else. Every turn, you get asked a question. If you get it right, you roll two dice. If you get it wrong, you roll one die. So make sure you polish up your trivia skills to get the best possible chance of winning!
Avatar Trivia Party is a much bigger project. Unlike ATO, ATP supports local multiplayer. Even in online multiplayer, you can take real-life friends with you on the same console. I worked really hard to make the multiplayer interface work well in all scenarios, to make sure that you can start games with your friends as quickly and easily as possible. Even if they're just drinking buddies and they don't have a 360 or a Gamertag.
So, a board game! Neat, huh? The game is almost done and will be put into review shortly.
