My son and I made a fighting game starring his stuffed animals. It is in the App Store.

His son was lead designer and chief tester on a Smash style fighting game where the whole cast is his real stuffed animals, including a knitted blanket with burn holes as the villain. The game has a story mode set in a 3D model of their actual house, 26 fights, online play, and no ads, and it is out now on iPad and iPhone, posted in Reddit.

How it works

  1. Turn each stuffed animal into a fighter with its own moves
  2. Build a story mode that walks through a model of their house
  3. Add stock, time and sudden death battles plus online play
  4. Test it together match after match and add what his son asks for
  5. Release it on the App Store

Why it’s worth knowing

The villain of the game is an old knitted blanket with burn holes, because in their house that is who the villain is.
