Role Breakdown
​
Tech/Scripter/Design: For Global Games Jam me and a bunch of other students made up a team of 6 to produce this game at Staffordshire University. I worked with one other 2nd year tech/designer. For this project we used github as source control to allow us to work on the project efficiently. For this role I worked primarily with the character and the level mechanics as well as level design and the main communication point/file between all departments. I learnt a lot about the procedural generation of levels during this role, and also on a personal note I learnt that experience doesn't mean you know more, as the 2nd year tech/design student taught me a bunch about level streaming to allow us to simulate the procedural generation of the levels which I was very grateful for! Overall was a great experience and can't wait for next year. Good job guys!
