Olivia Huynh has been thinking about Scoville and his test since last summer.
From the start it was clear it was going to be a chance to do something fun.
She writes:
Spiciness is somewhat of a universal, comical experience, which I think opened the door for us to do something we usually might not be able to, like a fighting game. I started making storyboards for how the game could unfold while engineers worked on building prototypes. Then I started sketching and making draft art to put in the prototype, so we could see what the experience would be like in interactive form.
After that I started working on backgrounds,
boss characters, meters, and then all the character animations, and ending
animations. At some point we thought about setting it in a human mouth, to
clarify things, but then realized that was probably too weird (thankfully).
Designing the boss peppers and animating Scoville's reactions to eating them
were probably my favorite parts.
That is why Wilbur Scoville in google doodle today...
