what I did

My first game jam, at Global Game Jam 2017. I handled code, design and UI for a team of five, on an underwater game where you explore and solve challenges. It is where my game design foundations come from. Built in Unreal Engine 4.

the hard part

Finishing anything at all. It was my first jam: 48 hours and five people, and most of the work was keeping everyone pointed at the same small game until it was done.

the highlights

  • My first ever game jam, and the start of it all
  • Code, design and UI for a team of five
  • Designed the underwater exploration and puzzles
