After decades of human space travel, one unlucky astronaut has had his ship hijacked! After sending out a transmission for help, you must fight off aliens and maintain your vessel to ensure that you are alive once help arrives!
Naturally, 'ScAvenger II' is set upon a spaceship, which fits the game thematically but also allows for lots of freedom when creating the one featured level. This game required simple, yet intrinsic and flowing levl design in order to create a stimulating but easy to learn environment.
This game was made in 48 hours for the Global Game Jam 2018, and we have recieved over 13,000 views and 4,000 unique downloads. It was based off an original concept ‘ScAvenger’ which was brainstormed as a part of our university course.
GAME JAMS
The Final Stop is a third person exploration game inspired by early PS1 horror games. After waking on a bus in the middle of nowhere, a young girl must investigate her surroundings and uncover the events that led to her current situation.
My approach to design on this game was heavily centered around conveying the narrative, which was conceived before the gameplay mechanics. Due to this top-down approach to the design, puzzle creation had to be constrained to the small bus environment. This meant making puzzles such as finding a correct series of musical notes using the bus stop chimes to unlock hidden objects.
This game was created for Asylum Jam 2017, where we placed 6th out of 60 entries.
Ah Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year. Sit down, enjoy your meal and try not to ruin everything by balancing how much you eat, drink and converse with the family!
While quite a simple premise, this game required lots of balancing. Each food product was carefully assigned a value, which would fill up the 'fullness' meter when consumed by the player. If they ate too much or too little, they would ruin the dinner and ultimately cause a game over. I also worked on the dialogue for this game with the focus of creating a realistic simulation of a typical British dinner.
‘A Very Average Christmas Dinner’ was created for LudemDare40 during December 2017.
