An adventure-survival game where you explore islands and scavenge in the hopes of surviving long enough find a way out of the archipelago. There will be day and night differences, with night time being a particularly dangerous time to be moving around as the island is full of treacherous beasts. Surviving isn’t easy and you’ll have to collect resources to sustain yourself through each day.

I created this game with my friend Jasmine Ying in the Intermediate Game Design class at USC taught by Peter Brinson and Richard Lemarchand. Jasmine and I designed all the systems, locations, and objectives of the game together, then split up the engineering work. I tackled the implementation of the UI, audio, day/night cycle, journal, campfire interactions, and more throughout the four months we spent making the game. I also developed metrics to track player behavior and output data that we could easily graph and track in Excel.
