What is AzTech?
AzTech is a one to four player game project created by students at DigiPen Institute of Technology. Players either team up for fight independently to score 10 points in a dynamically changing arena littered with traps and obstacles. We are currently in our Beta phase of development.
The idea behind AzTech is inspired by both Science Fiction in general and the Aztec culture. Back when the Aztecs were at the height of their power, they played a game called Ullamaliztli, a game so powerful in their culture the first thing they would build anytime they settled in a new area was a ball court. It was important for more than just entertainment: it had very deep ties in politics and religion.
AzTech is our science fiction interpretation of Ullamaliztli if the Aztecs hadn't died out, but instead became a highly advanced civilization. The beautiful part about putting the game in a science fiction setting is it lets us get away with whatever we want to expand on the game and make it even more exciting.
