Overview

This Gets Weird is a narrative-driven game with simple platforming puzzles alongside an environment setting based on Hansel and Gretel but with a twist. The whole game takes place in a forest with the central focal point being the witch's house. The protagonist of the story is Gretel, who is dealing with past trauma and must learn how to grow emotionally so that she can deal with the trauma and save her sibling.

This was my capstone project for university. I was the lead game designer in a team of 6 students. Other than myself, there was 1 programmer, 2 3D artists, and 2 graphic design group members. This was a much more serious project that took over 6 months to complete. I learned how to work with a bigger team with multiple disciplines. All of the assets and textures are original and made just for this project. The project was a success and was released in a complete state without any bugs. 

• Designed and implemented everything in the game, including the level design, puzzles, dialogue, UI, functionality and placement of triggers, and cutscenes.
• Programmed all of the logic for the puzzles, and character controller, as well as some other minor scripts and bug fixing. 
• Wrote the story and dialogue. 
• Implemented all of the audio.
• Used a plugin for the dialogue system. 
• Created sequences using timeline and Cinemachine. 
• Did the lighting and post-processing.
• Contributed to the prospectus, marketing research, and audience testing documents.
• Created various basic animations for things like doors and switches.
