Macgyver's Kids

With making this game, not only do we get to act on childish dreams and fantasies, but we get to be super creative with weapon creation and other elements of the game. Each of the guns we put in the game will all be made from everyday items and toys that kids have and have access, to make super cool powerful guns. My gun for example is a crossbow fashioned from paper towel tubes, wooden planks, a soda bottle, boomerang, slingshot, and suspenders. Kids put the gun together bit by bit and fire arrows made of Lego. Since a kid I've learned one the greatest weapons a kid could have is an imagination and a set of Lego's, so with those two in mind I made the weapon something kids could easily put together with ammo that every kid has had or should have had at some point in their lives.

We don't give children enough credit for the things they do and are capable of creatively. A child's mine has got to be the most powerful and magnificent, yet under appreciated element to human life there is. They are capable of absorbing everything they see, and creating new things from them. Everything from baby talk and the way they communicate with each other to the things like toys, pictures, and stories they come up with. Because of this level of untapped ingenuity we have had such a fun time with making weapons, the kid's base, and other elements of the game. By tapping into that old childhood imagination, the possibilities of features we can add to this game are endless.
