Weaper first came into this world as a dream my mom had one night. She came to me in the morning and explained in detail what she refered to as the game that would make me famous. From there, I made a list on my notes app of everything that I wanted this game to be. 

Years later, I finally decided to bring this dream into the real world - I only needed a name. I decided to name it after my favorite childhood monster, the Grim Reaper, but that name was far from unique. I figured I'd name the game after my mom, since it was her idea originally, and something childish, since my characters are all kids. I remembered my mom had a speech impediment for a long time while in elementary school, and decided it would be hilarious to call my game "Weaper" instead of "Reaper". 

I built Weaper on the laptop I was gifted for school whenever I had time in between college classes. Game development has been a passion of mine since I was 11, and this game showed me how far I've come since then.

Wepaer was created with the help my entire family as well as my friends and girlfriend. Without them, this wouldn't be possible. If they ever hear this, thank you deeply. 

STORYLINE

You, the nine year-old, and all of your friends from school, venture out into the woods on Halloween night on a quest to rid the monsters that have infested your town. You and your team quickly realize that this quest is not for the faint-hearted, and therefore, you are all terrified. To make matters worse, your mom only has room for one of you in her car back to town. You must fight against your team and the creatures that lay hidden in order to survive Halloween - and make it back before bedtime. 

A game of social paranoia, terrifying creatures, and make-believe guns.

Concept - How You Play

You begin in a haunted forest - lost with no sense of direction. You must find weapons and gear in chests around the map and in locations like the Haunted Manor. Equipt with these items, your only objective is to survive the monsters - and each other. To increase your chance of survival, you can team up with another player, but beware - betrayal is bred in fear. As the game progresses, there will be three "Hauntings" where terrifying monsters spawn and things happen, and a "Team Dissolve Point" where teams will no longer be active. Survive all this, and you will make it out of Halloween night alive, and just in time to see your friends at school the next day.

Quick Features:

• Team creation and destruction

• Social teamwork and betrayal

• Random event system/monster spawning

• Execution kills/finishers

• Large map with multiple detailed locations

• "Sanity meter" where you go crazy if scared too much or outside of zone for too long

• Childhood Halloween nostalgia vibe
