Rapid Game Prototypes

At Media Design School, I wes required to prototype a large number of games within a very short time frame (between 1 and 3 weeks) as part of a team. Some of these were later expanded upon over a longer period. These prototypes have taught me iterative, agile development as well as the appropriate times to write code quickly. My involvement in some of these prototypes is outlined below.

'O'

O is a 2D arcade game inspired by Pong. I developed the core game mechanics including: bat movement, ball movement, 'gravity' physics, collision consequences. I also did VFX work including: screen shake, particles, health bar 'decay', ball and bat tweening on collisions.

Doggone

Doggone is a 3rd person action game. I did the graphics development including: the toon shader for environment objects, danger area highlights, 'compass' graphic. I also developed the AI system using Unity's navmesh and some custom code.

Plant Game

Developed as a concept game to motivate call centre workers, I developed the core game loop for Plant Game, the camera controller and a custom sprite animation system.
