what I did

I handled code, design and UI for a team of seven at Global Game Jam 2019. You guide a child fighting off waves of nightmares, in a mix of survival mechanics and atmospheric storytelling. Built in Unreal Engine 4.

the hard part

Turning seven people's ideas into one game in 48 hours. Keeping the scope small and making sure everyone's pieces fit together was most of the job.

the highlights

  • Survival gameplay in 48 hours with a team of seven
  • Code, design and UI
  • Dark fantasy with mechanics anyone can pick up
