This game was part of my third semester. Our team were 4 students from the HTW Berlin and we worked about 2 months on this game.
Team: Marie, Jules, Eva, Arvid
Working period: December 2016 – February 2017
Used software: Unity, Photoshop, Confluence
My fields of responsibility: game system design, visual supervision, gameplay programming
My Tasks
Game System Design | Programming | Artstyle Creation | Visual Supervision | Unity Implementation
It was my first 3D game so we decided for a simple artstyle and limited gameplay. Our first attempt was a completely different game. But we weren't happy with it, so we started over. It was a hard thing to learn, but it was the right decision. So the most important thing I learned during this project is to focus on the gameplay. If not even the prototyped gameplay is fun, you should do something about it, even if it means to start from the beginning again.
