For quite a long time, I have wondered what computer games, if any, people would make based on Timothy Goes To School. I have two such ideas. The first one is a computer game called Timothy’s Table Tournament, which I will describe no further on this post.* The second one is called Hilltop Havoc!, which, for the first time ever, will depict the Timothy Goes To School characters in 3D.
To render the characters and locations in 3D, I suggest developing a program called Polywood. Polywood will be a 3D drawing program that will allow people to generate 3D renderings of 2D images. Before one can render the images in 3D, however, I will need to contact Corus Entertainment to request copies of the official Timothy Goes To School artwork. Requesting the official artwork from Corus Entertainment is the best way to get the most references for use with Polywood. I will need as many references as possible to get a good idea of how to render them in 3D.
As for the mechanics of Hilltop Havoc, it will feature BOTH 1-player (Solo Quest) AND 2-player (Co-Op Quest) adventure modes. In Solo Quest, players will get to play as any of the twelve Hilltop School students except the Franks. In Co-Op Quest, however, player 1 will ALWAYS play as Frank #1, and player 2 will ALWAYS play as Frank #2.
As for the plot of the game, the player(s) will start the adventure in the house of whichever character(s) he/she/they selected, and he/she/they will assume the perspective of that/those character(s).
* = I will describe Timothy’s Table Tournament in a future post.
