That One Time In Space

This is a team project I worked on during my second four-day game jam. Our team consisted of 5 designers and 3 programmers including myself.  The theme was "Feedback".

Summary: "One engineer and one operator. You are both tasked with the challenge of fixing the spaceship through various set puzzles. Constant Feedback is needed from the operator to command the engineer's actions to ensure that safety is restored to the ship."

I worked on the Tile rooms, audio, bug testing and general room layouts, UI elements and level interactions.

The game is designed to encourage both players to work as a team much like 'Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes'.  Our communication as a team was very strong, each day started and ended with a SCRUM to ensure everyone was on the same track and knew what needed to be completed next. The designers primarily used Trello to update the status of work. This allowed everyone to manage their workload and stay on track with the development of the level. The programmers used GitHub to organise the game files. This allowed multiple people to edit the project at once. While out-of-office we kept in contact through Discord where we spent time adjusting the project as a group.

The main aspect of our game is the pop-up window, which can be streamed to a friend on an application like Discord, Teams or even OBS. We ran into a lot of issues getting the pop-up window to work. After attempting it for a day we settled on split-screen. Once the main features were complete, we went back to reattempt the pop-up window. Fortunately, we managed to find a solution and have the game working as intended.
