NORDIC NEXUS: BATTLE OF THE GODS

Lincoln University Computing Society Game Jam Entry

Winner of “Most Innovative” Award

Nordic Nexus is my first game for the Microsoft Kinect camera. It was programmed in 24 hours at the ULCS game jam. The game was based loosely around the themes of “2012”, “Vikings” and “Sheep”.

You assume the role of either Loki or Thor, who are fighting during Ragnarök the end of the world. You have to hurl magical fireballs at your foe whilst blocking their attacks with your shield. If you stamp your feet, the ground shakes and you hear giant footsteps echo across the landscape and little people run around below in fear!
