Have you ever wanted to traumatize a bus full of kids? No? Well, now you can!
Welcome to Mad-Bus Mayhem, a Champlain College Capstone experience created by Legally Conflicted Studios. In MBM, you play as the sole bus driver in a wacky and somewhat outlandish world, equipped with nothing more than your bus and the hope that you're not late. Remember, you're only paid a set wage, so overtime is strictly FORBIDDEN. To get the kids to school on time, you must barrel, dodge, and floor it through the world, letting nothing stop you in your path. On the evening route, take control of your time and, if you'd choose to, help kids with their random and silly hijinks. This town needs the world's best bus driver, but instead, they got you.

Mad-Bus Mayhem was developed as a senior capstone project. It is a prototype demo that was created as part of a multi disciplinary team of students. Mad-Bus Mayhem is a driving game in which the players need to drive a school bus to pick up students at various bus stops and deliver them to school as fast as possible. The demo was built over the course of a semester using Unity.
For this project I took the role as the lead programmer. I was responsible for developing much of the core game loop. I helped with the driving system and player controls as well as the mission objectives and interactions throuout the game. I also integrated the functionality for the player hud and other UI assets.
