RESPAWN
My friends and I created the game Respawn for BIMD 250 using Gamemaker Studio. Respawn is a 2-D sidescrolling adventure, puzzle solving platforming game. The game entails using the bodies of your previous lives in order to pass through various obstacle a scientist throws at you. These include spikes, fire, water, predators, lasers and more. I acted as the team director and helped pitch ideas. NOTE: Does not work on Mac operating system.
CORPROMISE
This game attempts to simulate the correlation between the pursuit of profit and the impact of unsustainable growth. By challenging the players to both compete and cooperate we hope to highlight the difficulty in working towards a common goal, while at the same time having competing interests. Our team has purposefully made it difficult to lower the Environmental Impact counter to emphasis the difficulty present in reducing and repairing the damage to the planet.
