Good East
(November 2023 - Present)
Developer: Alexandrine Aranda Toledo & me
Role: Unreal Programmer & Game Designer
This personal project has been developed willing to improve my skills and portfolio. With that in mind, and teaming up with Alexandrine, another Game Designer who compliments my skills quite well, as she is more focused on narrative and sound design (in contrast to my technical and gameplay skills) we decided to take Bad North as a big reference and make a prototype.
The reasoning behind the decision of choosing this game was that its system-based and we thought we could reasonably make a fairly complete and fun game that includes interesting areas for our portfolios.
We focussed more on developing the game rather tan changing up the reference, but anyway we added several small changes such as new types of units with completely new behaviours and the inheritably different level design.
During this development I handled the vast majority of blueprint programming (units, tiles, camera, Game Mode, widget blueprints, houses and unit healing inside them among others) as well as all the animation systems, AI programming, navigation areas and game saves system. I also helped with level design and dressing, gameplay design and analysis of Bad North.
