MY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • I was responsible for implementing all in-game mechanics, the menu system, the user interface (UI), as well as audio and visual effects (VFX) for the project. I collaborated closely with two Level Designers, who designed all ten levels, and one Artist, who created the in-game assets, UI art, and marketing materials.

  • As this was my first time working with Unity, I initially found the experience challenging. However, as development progressed, I developed a solid understanding of the engine and its capabilities. Additionally, since the game was tablet-based, I had to quickly learn and adapt to implementing touch-based input systems.

  • Our team followed a RACI chart to define responsibilities. I was held Responsible and Accountable for all game mechanics, Consulted on level design, and Informed about art production. This structured approach ensured clear communication and effective collaboration throughout the project.
