Overview

This game is the final project in the Computer Simulation and Gaming course, dubbed the ‘Capstone’ project. This project reflects the skills learned by the group over the 2 years.

My role was that of Lead Designer. This made my tasks to be wide, from team management to steering the direction of the game towards the product owner’s vision, and then actual designing and scripting of the game.

My major contributions to this project include bringing it to the stage it is now, core feature design, level design, tool design and programming, UI/HUD scripting, general level scripting. Other areas I aided was voice over scripting, enemy/character balancing, and 2D graphics.
