Ruby Dreams2024, PC / Steam / iOS / Androidwhat I did
Ruby Dreams was a one-month sprint in May 2024: the whole team, all 16 of us, on something small as a change of pace after Iragon. I planned its puzzles as one connected system, built several of them myself, including the shuffle puzzle, and worked with our story writer so each one belongs to the scene it sits in. I also owned the UI.
the hard part
The deadline was even tighter than Veilcrest's: one month. But the harder part was the team. Ruby Dreams looks small, yet it carries a lot of functionality, and with 16 people on it I had to give everyone a real role, so nobody was left on the sidelines and every piece of the game had an owner.
the highlights
- A full Steam release in one month, with a 16-person team
- Planned the puzzles and built several, including the shuffle puzzle
- Owned the UI, and wrote the puzzles into the story with our writer
