Game Jam - 002

Other Side is a multiplayer puzzle platformer game confronting the topic of DID.

The players switch between different personas, each with a different take on the world.

With this, the players must solve puzzles using different perspectives. The players will not be able to communicate with each other, so they will have to use their surroundings to communicate.

Together, they must solve puzzles, but the world will change every time the character switches.

This will represent the struggle of having multiple personalities and will tie into real-world struggles.

For the most part in this game jam, I was in charge of a good chunk of the idea as well as coming up with mechanics and gameplay loops. I also made the PowerPoint for the presentation so I did a majority of the written work. for the mechanics, I came up with the basic ideas like the level switching and world perspective shifting but they were later expanded on by Mitchell. For the gameplay loop I made a flow chart showing the planned loop. I did with the aid of my team but mostly by myself just checking with them to ensure we are all happy with it.

My overall team experience was good. My team was helpful and took control of the tasks they were set. Not only did my team manage their work, but they also had input over the entire project like a team should. I feel that Alex, Kyle and Mitchell work very well together and can come up with ideas and flow well with me. The areas they could have been stronger in are the allocation of tasks. I feel like they could have worked a bit on the written side and wrote the parts on the things they did. Not only so they have a better idea of what they have done but would also allow them to explain their prosses.
