The Way Home

As part of one of my Game Design classes at LCV, a group of friends and I took part in the 2019 Global Game Jam, wherein teams are given a theme and 48 hours to build a game based on the theme. For our project, we created "The Way Home" a 2D side-scrolling platformer with simple puzzle mechanics based on the theme of "What does home mean to you". I worked in most of the aspects of this project, including scripting in C#, level design, UI design, and overall gameplay design. This project was an excellent teacher in teamwork, time management, and game development in general, and I greatly enjoyed the experience of working in a (simulated) professional environment.
