General information

A project made for a gamejam in just 6 days. We entered in the middle of the gamejam, that had originally two weeks of duration. The idea was take the basic gameplay of dead by daylight, but with a singleplayer experience. The idea was pratically the same, you would turn on some generators and when all of them was connected, a portal would open to the player scape.
My contribution
I've acted in this project as a Game Designer, Level Designer, and Programmer, but, my main hole was as programmer.
Progreamming: As the only programmer, I dedicated the most part of the 6 days of gamejam to program the game, except for the first one that we planned how the game was going to be. As a horror game, I wanted to challenge my self, trying to programming and add a jumpscare in that, and of course that was the most difficult part. But taking this away, the most part of thisgame was nothing that I never worked on before.
Game Design: How was a gamejam, the game design was the first and faster part to be decided. I haven't had ideas alone, my team work with me to create the aesthetics and mechanics, a beautiful team work in the game design.
Level Design: But how the game don't have levels, and I was responsable for the programming, was easier for me do the level design for the game flow. I build the level thinking in facilitate to player find the anemies leastwise one time. I made the balance too, to the game don't stay so much easy.
