Mimic Hunt (Concept)

University Year 2 - Junior Collabs
Mimic Hunt is a concept of my own fruition, inspired by the Garry's Mod gamemode 'Prop Hunt' but with a twist. This concept was visualised during the first prototyping week during my collaborative module at University but ultimately was beat out by Pizza Time!
Concept
'Prop Hunt' is a game mode that has been consistently popular on Garry's Mod - a mode where players are divided into 2 teams: props who must transform into furniture/décor to blend in with their surroundings, and seekers who must try and discern which props are actually hiding players.
Mimics are mythological creatures that take the form of treasure chests only to leap out at unsuspecting adventurers. By combining these two concepts, the idea of Mimic Hunt was born!
