Finding Home
Finding Home is a sidescroller demo I have helped create with a group of students during my studies at Hanze. The demo was created in Game Maker. The demo comes complete with branching dialogue trees, combat, interactible items and a boss fight! This project has taught me so much, and has helped develop my skills working in a team as well.
The underlying concept for the project is about wayfinding in a foreign environment. I worked within an team of 5 by contributing as a programmer and I have produced numerous music tracks for the game as well. To create the music for the game I have used FL Studio 20.
To help with project management our team has used SCRUM. We also made use of Google Drive to store our assets. Trello was used to keep track of things to do, currently doing and finished tasks ready for review. Every week we would also have a meeting where we would have a retrospective review of our progress. This helped keep our whole team on the same page, and ensured we were on track with development.
Additionally Discord was used to help us track various aspects of the game with the aid of channels. With these platforms development of the game was much easier compared to projects i’ve worked on the past and I am very happy with the results.
