Overview / Usage
Shadow Fencer Theatre is the competitive awkward physics sword fighting game set in the world of shadow puppets. Take center stage with a unique cast of characters and make your way to become a Grandmaster of the theatre. Perform solo or battle a friend in a veritable variety show of game modes and skits. Whether you are a one-puppet show or sharing the stage, above all else, show the world you are the best performer on the shadowy screen.
Acting 101: Be sure to point the pointy end away from you and towards your opponent. When all else fails, just do a cheeky sword throw.

Methodology / Approach
Shadow Fencer Theatre is physics based in all it's interactions and animations. This allows us to quickly iterate and create new characters all while being able to deliver a more organic feel to the game to reinforce the aesthetic of shadow puppets.
We utilize the Intel Skull Canyon NUC to allow us to have a high performance and easy to transport setup for demoing our game at tradeshows and events. This enables us to get great feedback from the community and helps us to improve as well as share our game.
