In The Only Hope, I took on dual roles as Programmer and Game Designer, contributing to both technical and creative aspects of the game.
As a programmer, my primary task was to ensure the game was fully playable on both Web and PC platforms. With a foundational background in programming, I navigated most challenges smoothly. However, the real test came when implementing timeline sequences and working with plugins, both of which were new to me at the time. Despite these hurdles, I successfully integrated these elements, gaining invaluable insights into Unity's capabilities and the potential of its plugins.

On the game design side, I focused on aligning the narrative with the game's theme and designing NPCs that enriched the story. I worked to ensure that level progression was seamless, maintaining a cohesive flow that kept players engaged. My goal was to deliver an immersive experience that tied gameplay mechanics to the overarching narrative, ensuring the game felt unified and impactful.
