I/ITSECSerious Games Showcase Winner
This game was altered to help people who will receive a prosthetic arm train them how to use their arm. It has received an award at the Serious Games Showcase at I/ITSEC 2017 for Best Serious Game Innovation and was presented at GDC Play 2018.
Lead Programmer Duties
I programmed a version of the game for keyboard and a separate limbit arm version. I wrote all player functionality, spawn management and enemy AI. I implemented all animations using Unity Mecanim and art assets.
I learned how to manage scope properly during this game along with working on a small team. Dividing up jobs and efficient asset integration was a big lesson for me. Although the process was smooth I feel it has informed my approach working with others in a team setting.
