My Role

This was my very first game project made in Unity, working both as a game designer and a programmer, within only a short 3 months.

Development

On the technical side, I had implemented various interesting gameplay mechanics including bubble shooting, time-based grappling, patterned enemy AI and the scoring system, and worked closely with a UX designer and an artist to integrate the art assets to fulfill the aesthetics and narrative side of the game.

Game Design

As for game design, I took part in multiple iterations of ideations on the core mechanics, experimenting with different parameter variants(e.g. buoyancy, shooting power), and refinement of existing interactions for better agency and affordance(e.g. time-based grappling), in order to achieve a balance between challenge and fun for this sustainable-themed "stealth" puzzle kitty game.
