My Contributions
This project was made for my Player Experience Design class 'FP-345' assignment where we had to work in pairs to create a first-person game featuring three mechanics across four spaces playable in five minutes.
Games Design
Throughout this project, I worked with my partner, Dave, on designing each section of the game. We planned the different rooms, interactions, enemies and overarching storyline.
I worked on modelling the upstairs rooms of the house, while David modelled the downstairs. We then worked together to add different set dressings throughout the entire envrionment.
​
The programming elements I coded included the magic library door, potion-making puzzle, and rat cutscene/cheese hunt sequence. I also implemented the hidden notes found within the jailcells and library areas.
​
We collaborated on finding textures for our models, designing lighting, and sourcing music.
