Things I learnt to this point:

Responsible to focus on the player and not just make the idea in my head.

receiving feedback is as a vital part of the creation of the game.

Use player data to drive the progress of the game.

MDA Framework (Mechanics, Dynamics and Aesthetics)

Players see it backwards.

software skills in blender, unity, reaper, fl studio, photoshop, and implementing AI with image generation and other concepting tools.

Door

Sales Pitch

Midlife Crisis is a physiological thriller that takes on the role of Tommy Thompson, Tommy has been hiding from his past for years but his mind cant keep hiding, Join tommy as he fights to understand how to deal with the demons of his past as he trips between our reality and the one within his mind where he learns much about himself.

Differenrt early stages of building my level including important narrative points to emphasize the story built.

These scripts are my player controller and my scene manager.

The controller script uses rigidbody physics to control the player with addForce and Drag using vector3 to control the direction. the player camera a look speed and also a rotational lock to mimic the restrictions of a humans neck.
