Unity | Game Jam | Technical Game Designer

Made for the Brackeys jam, I collaborated with a small team of 5 for a week to create a roguelike bullet hell with the "Diving Deeper" theme made in Unity.

My contribution:​​​

  • Designing 4 simple enemies, their behaviors and spawns

  • Rapidly scripting gameplay and core systems in Unity

  • Iterating on the gameplay loop

A fun little design challenge I took on was the 2D aiming in a 3D environment.

Script that spawns enemies.

This was a collaboration between a programmer and myself.

My roles on this system:​

  • Communicated design requirements

  • Assisted in the programming

  • Helped find and fix issues with the script

Comments are very positive and we ranked in the top 10% of the Jam.
