I added more furniture and decorations later after more iteration https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery04/a1a11233.jpg The house exterior, modeled by a teammate based on my blockout design https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/3253915d.jpg Layout of the top floor prior to adding furniture/assets, with notes written both for myself and for the rest of the team https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/e67f0632.jpg Layout of the attic, with some notes added for the rest of the team to explain/point out my design choices https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/598d5aa7.jpg Layout of the attic on the return trip. The escape of the attic is frantic and stressful, the player should not take time to stop and think, so all dead ends are cut out to let them just run. The final hallway is made extra long for added tension too. https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image15.jpg https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image14.jpg https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image12.jpg https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image16.jpg https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery05/985a7f6a.jpg We assembled notes about the playtest and how the player reacted in a google doc https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery06/386ac4eb.jpg In the middle of a regular tetris game, strange objects like this ringing phone appear https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery06/15ebed88.jpg The player can leave it to go to voicemail, or can click on the phone to answer https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery07/94655c07.jpg The camera zooms out, revealing the TV and eventually the power-off button https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery07/cea4c464.jpg When the player presses power-off, they exit into the 3d free-roam environment of the character's appartment https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image01.jpg https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image17.jpg https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image18.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image19.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image20.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image21.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image22.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image23.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image03.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image04.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image07.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image06.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image05.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image02.gif https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image24.jpg https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery14/eedc1ad7.jpg Our Miro board where we figured out what we wanted the game to be https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery14/8a394101.jpg My prototype to test some of the graffiti and platforming mechanics. The ability to place your own platforms did not make it to the full game. https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery15/05689f10.jpg Puzzle concepts I made on my notebook https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery15/c5210779.jpg Level layout concept on my notebook https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery16/a60bf1bc.jpg First blockout of the level, with bare decorations/objects https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery16/81cb4b80.jpg Example of notes I made in Unity about the level blockout https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery10/6168e264.jpg In one of the puzzles, you create a graffiti of a cat to make this cat move away from a door https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery10/7a5e8964.jpg In another puzzle, you create a graffiti tree to platform your way up https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image08.jpg https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery08/246f5525.jpg The player uses the number keys to send letters and the mouse on the computer screen. https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery08/5893b01f.jpg Between stages, the player gets an evaluation, and a choice of either a curse or a mystery box https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery08/859f4175.jpg Regardless of which option the player picks, the box is always revealed. https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery09/a215170a.jpg Hordes of enemies spawn constantly https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery09/67b3a0fb.jpg Collecting different items lets you performed an attack with their combined attributes https://niconickname.carrd.co/assets/images/image26.gif
