Game History

The Vision

The developers, matricks and teetow, have a pretty good vision of what Teeworlds should be, a vision that sometimes conflict with the community's vision. One example of this were the new skins included in 0.3.0. It didn't fit their perception of what Teeworlds was, but it was something that the developers always wanted to have in Teeworlds and something that has always been in their vision of Teeworlds.

The Experiments

In the early days of Teeworlds the developers did a lot of experimenting. The first version didn't have the hook. It had a jet pack instead. The developers later on tried a lot of things with having a hook instead, but they agreed that the hook was the funniest one. In different versions they tried different methods of moving and other gameplay factors; in one version they removed the hook and tried just using double jumps and wall jumps to move around, however it was a bit hard to move around using only this. They considered it once again before releasing the 0.1.0-version, but the hook got into the game and it's now a big part of the game.

The Teeworlds Design Plan

The design plan for Teeworlds and it's developers follow a very strict code. It's best summed up as KISS or Occam's Razor:

  1. Teeworlds should be fun!
  2. Teeworlds should contain no excess and be kept to the bare minimum, only exception is rule 1.
  3. Teeworlds should be deterministic and predictable. No random variables, no exceptions.
  4. Teeworlds should be about order, not chaos.
  5. Teeworlds should be very informative on what's happening.

Following these rules the developers try to develop a very fun and skill-based game.
