Role: Co-Designer, Co-Programmer
Software: Unity
Development Cycle: 4 hours
Team Size: 7
Purpose: Game Jam
Target Platform: PC
This game was developed by me and 6 other students as part of an extremely short game jam. I only knew 2 other people on the team prior to the game jam, and we were tasked with creating a game in 4 hours with the theme “Haunted House”.
While we only got to complete 1 simple level and we had the idea to have ghosts of the killer’s victims that would possess the player character to give minor debuffs, we got stylized menus, a short in-game song, and some gorgeous art in just 4 hours which I was extremely proud of. After I led the main design of the game, I spent the rest of the jam programming the player character and object interactions.
