Ristorantê Defenders

Ristorantê Defenders

About

3D Tower Defense | Lead Programmer

The evil mafia, Fast food Famiglia is trying to take over Italy. It is up to Aglio and Cipolla, who both coincidentally have personal grudges with them, to save the restaurants. The two of them make use of the utensils in the restaurant and their own unique abilities to defend against the enemies.

My thoughts

Ristorantê Defenders was fun to make as it was the first time that we were making a 3D project.

The mechanics in this game is quite interesting to work on and once it was completed, I was really proud of my team as this game looked amazing and even though it is quite a difficult game as you need to manage your resources on both characters, it felt really fun to play.

They took the world by surprise, spreading rapidly worldwide, consuming anywhere the light shines. Scientists have found that a way to restore broken light bulbs to emit a new kind of artificial light that will not be destroyed by them. To limit the risk of danger, the scientists have created a sentient lightbulb capable of restoring broken light bulbs for them.

My thoughts

Out of all these project, this is my most treasured one as the game was based off my idea. Being able to have an idea and watch it come to fruition with a group of people is fulfilling to me. I'm also quite proud of the scripts as some of functions were not taught in class so the other programmer, Antonio, and I had to look for ways to make this work.

3D Local Multiplayer

Arena Overflow, the project that my friend and I came together and created with the idea of a fun but simple game. The UI in this game was made to look flashy but was also done in a very intuitive to navigate way. The controls were also snappy and quick to respond to the players touch and being a competitive PvP game, we had a lot of fun playtesting.

Escape Island

Escape Island

About

Developed by Mah Chi You

360 VR | Puzzle Escape Room

Trapped on an unknown island, you are determined to escape. How or when you arrived on this island is unclear. Explore and uncover the secrets hidden away.

My thoughts

This project was interesting as I was adjusting a lot of the mechanics of the game while I was making it as it was my first time making an escape room type game. I learnt a lot about how to properly make these type of games, what works and what would be too confusing for the player to understand. All in all, it was fun as it was a non-immersive VR game, something out of my traditional games.

My thoughts

After having made this app with my team, I feel that there is so much more to creating a children's app as there are so many things to take into consideration as it needs to be suitable for the children and as well as their parents. Although what we might think is suitable might not mean that the parents will have the same taste, making the game with this in consideration was defiantly hard, but my team and I pulled through to create this app.

3D Puzzle

Although this project was not my best work, it was interesting to say the least, as I was infected with Covid-19 at the time of making this project. Coming up with an idea during this time was hard as I was not able to completely focus on the task in hand, but I managed to pull through with this game.

My thoughts

This project will forever hold a special place in my heart as this was the first time that I made a game. Our team came together to make this. I remember this being so fun because there were so many bugs in the beginning and we had very little understanding of what we were really doing, so it was quite a challenge and I enjoyed the journey of making a game from nothing.
