Presents…

So, who are we?

We are the current Graduating Class from Game Production Workshop 400 here at CDIS.

We are a somewhat eclectic collection of Game Programmers & Game Designers from

the GDAPM and EGDAM programs

So why SOS?

Well, in it’s common usage, SOS is a radio distress call.

Even though we may have wanted to with the workload that this project required, we’re not actually calling for help…

Here’s a hint:Some of the guys on the team are real huge Nintendo fans.

Okay, it’s a fairly obscure reference, it an acronym for “Sons of Shigeru”

Head Honcho of Nintendo

On that note,We proudly present

The Goal of the project was to produce a fast paced, side scrolling, fighting sort of game.

Of Similar genre to “Final Fight”

And “The Punisher”

So what then, prey tell, is “Born to be

King”?

…It’s a fast paced, side scrolling, beat-em-up, which involves members of various gangs in a winding story of deceit, death, drugs, and debauchery! Where you have the ability to control the destiny of the gangs and rule the underworld of Maher!

Where you can select one of four characters and battle your way through the seedy city streets.

Avoiding various hazards along the way.

So how was Born to be King Developed? Well a wide variety of tools was used

throughout the course of it creation. The Backbone which holds it together, and

the engine which drives it is…

Gasp!

Okaaaaay, so what then, is Unreal Tournament?

Unreal Tournament is a first person shooter game where you um…well… blast pretty much anything that moves.

So, let’s jump into regular old plain Jane Unreal Tournament for a quick look see…

As you can see, it doesn’t look anything like a side scroller.

Hang on…you said Born to be King is side scroller?

Say what!

Your gonna do what with the whoz’it???

That’s right. We turned a

game like this, a first person shooter.

Into a game like this, a side scrolling fighting game.

This is something that’s not really been done yet.

It’s a novel concept which allowed us to have the game play of a side scroller with the look and feel of a 3D shooter.

So with that, everyone from Team SOS invites you to sit back & enjoy the
