Hack Space – Board Game

Roles: Designer and Developer
Project: Board game prototype
Length: March 2017 – May 2017
Snapshot: Strategy board game concept involving grouping units to boost powers, along with a card power up system. Created a digital game board prototype in Unity.

This was an individual project done for school in one of my design classes. I designed a board game. Since I was doing school online I decided to make a playable version digitally for the professors (another option was building and mailing a prototype). I created the digital version of the prototype in Unity. The digital game doesn't have any logic, it is just a tool for building and playing the board game or drawing cards from a virtual deck. Players have to keep track of the rules.

The originally was going to be themed around armies and military units. However it turned into a board game of AI programs that would do battle. One of the fun bits was working on the formating of the rule book making it look like it was being read on an old school computer with a text only interface.
