Project Overview & Postmortem

Tools Used: Unity
Platform: Windows
Role: Gameplay Programmer
Overview: ToweReturn was made for the 2019 UT Game Jam, for the theme "return." The game is a short dungeon crawler wherein the player has to choose wisely which enemies to fight and which paths to unlock on the way to saving their dog. I programmed the player statistics and the UI that shows them.
Postmortem: This was my first time doing a game jam, so I had to adapt quickly to its fast-paced nature. In addition, there was some disagreement in the team regarding the game's concept, but by talking it out we were able to come to an agreement. Overall, for my first game jam, I think it went rather well; though the controls are clunky, the premise and the dialogue still give me a chuckle.
