Race To The Stage

Role: Lead Game Programmer

Studio: Inkwell Interactive Studio

Team members: Three programmers, four artists, and one designer

Skills: Unity, C#

Platform: WebGL

Status: Published

Clients: Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion

Description: Our clients reached out to Inkwell towards the end of 2021 and informed us that they wanted to have us make a game similar to Fall Guys but also include elements of the pavilion. Their information was handed over to my team in mid-January, and we took on the task of developing this game. They wanted to showcase this game as a browser game at an event on June 1st, 2022, meaning that we only have one semester (3 months) to work on this project. My job as the lead programmer was to assign tasks to my programming team, as well as making sure that everything is going well according to plan. I specifically worked on things like profiling for performance, UI programming, Camera, cutscene/cinematic, player-to-scene interactions, etc. I also started a lot of the other stuff and passed them down to my programmers to let them finish them. The only programming tasks that I was not a part of were the Python server (no longer running) and the character movement and jumping. 

Gameplay features:

• The player will be slowed when hit an obstacle

• If the player hit an obstacle within the security guard's radius, the security guard will become more aggressive and start running toward the location of the collision

• If caught by the security guard, send the player back to the last spawn point

• Trying to get to the stage as quickly as possible
