Hacking
The Game Design Document (GDD) was created using Notion and Miro, where I described all aspects of the game: the target audience, references, genre, story, core game loop, mechanics, enemies, level design, puzzles and more.
I’ve faced many challenges through the development. From project scope cuts to programming difficulties, I had to make hard decisions to shape the project into a product that can be completed by mostly one person.
PROBLEM 1: Through playtests I discovered that players did not know which door they just opened after pressing a button because those weren’t physically connected to each other.
SOLUTION: I added buried cable that can be seen by using the Scanner. This added an interesting layer of depth to the game with a new mechanic of interaction and more character development for the robot.
PROBLEM 2: Animations. Since I do not have skills to animate, I had to find alternatives to traditional aiming and shooting with the character arm.
SOLUTION: The solution was a support drone roaming around the player that shoots the Laser. Also, all enemies in the game rely on shaders, rotation or floating logic to convey movement.
I brainstorm the basic layout of puzzles using Miro, and with the basic idea created, I block out the level or puzzle on Unity using Pro Builder. After that, I playtest to get a feel for the level and add or remove things if needed.
