• An edutainment game made at Agora Game Lab of Jyväskylä University

• I wrote the script (both English and Finnish versions) including storylines and dialogue
• A linear storyline split between six playable characters (different types of fish and sea mammals)
• The game production was a part of a larger EU-funded project.

Ufo Shooter (working title) is a simple arcade shooter with a B-scifi theme. The aim of the game is to fight through a hostile alien environment to destroy the power crystal that powers an enemy doomsday weapon. The aim of the project was to learn the basics of unity scripting, which proved to be easy enough with any background in C++ game programming. Enemy, weapon and GUI graphics are quick placeholders since I wanted to keep focus on the functionality. A secondary aim was to create a small script library that I am planning to utilize in future projects.

Bulletman is a simple survival shooter. The task was to make a clone of an existing game or genre and we chose classic top-down survival shooters. The programming for the game was done mostly in evenings. I had to learn AS3 myself, since the course intro focused on Action Script 2 which I felt too limited.
