Bonhommes Bagarre
Multiplayer - One Button Party Game
My role : Game Designer
Engine : Godot
Pitch Presentation of the game (no sound)
Bonhommes Bagarre is a multiplayer party game, where a single mechanic creates
tens of gameplays and situations.
You only need one keyboard or controller to play with up to 8 players, because
everyone will only use one button!
This is a game I pitched during the Develop at Ubisoft Game Design program
We were asked to imagine and pitch a game with a single indication : It has to be a One Button Game
And since I always like to find fun ways of incorporating indications in my work, I went for the less obvious option : multiplayer
I took this opportunity to make mistakes and fine tune the idea behind Bonhommes Bagarre.
Each player assigns himself an input on a controller.
Then, they get 3 options :
- Long press to stop the movement of their character and charge an attack
- Release to execute to attack
- Quick press to parry an incoming attack

In the base mode, Arena, your goal is to be the last player alive.
The game was very well received, and I decided to develop it further with the help of a few friends.
We are currently working on a prototype, so stay tuned!
