Chronoception is a 2D surreal, avoidance-based side-scroller twitch game built in GuildEd. Armed with the ability to slow down their enemies or stop time around them for brief intervals, the player must navigate through the eerie Time Vortex while dodging supernatural hazards and collecting scattered pieces of Dr. Beau Ty鈥檚 broken pocket watch. The main gameplay mechanic and main character were inspired by the British T.V. show Doctor Who. The game was built over the span of three months starting in October 2012. The game was designed around the mechanic of slowing down time.

Challenges for the game included designing interesting enemies to complement the mechanic, programming the various AI behaviors, and teaching the player how to use the time mechanic. Through overcoming these challenges, we learned how intertwined the core mechanics and the enemies are along with various techniques for how to teach the player the game.

鈥淔at Ninja鈥� is a fast-paced 2D platformer where players take the role of Wei, the son of a legendary ninja who must retrieve his father鈥檚 sword, taken by the Men in Black, if he wants to be accepted as a true ninja. However, because of his physical limitations, he must rely on a grappling hook to move around and needs to constantly pick up donuts, lest he dies of hunger.

We did this game in a 2 month period, using an in-house engine called GuildEd. The main challenge of this game was creating a fun core mechanic that we could exploit in several ways, along with finding a concept that the entire team felt passionate about. By using the grappling hook mechanic that allowed people to quickly swing across the stage, making daredevil acrobatics, and a funny storyline that poked fun at the popular conception of ninjas, 鈥淔at Ninja鈥� ended up being a fun game. It also taught us the many facets that making a game entails, lessons that we took to our following team projects.聽

Lunacy is a 2D side-scrolling puzzle/adventure game built in GuildEd, a Guildhall proprietary engine. The player controls Rupert Greene, a hippy conspiracy theorist, as he tries to uncover the Truth on the dark side of the moon. Rupert must work his way into the depths of an inverted, pyramidal alien ruin by using a mysterious artifact to manipulate the force of gravity in order to avoid traps and solve puzzles, all while managing his precious oxygen supply. His ultimate goal is to locate fragments of the Australe Slab, a Rosetta Stone-like tablet, the key to unraveling the mysteries of the aliens. 聽We began this project in October 2012 and completed it in December of that year, for a total project time of about three months. We built the game around an original gameplay mechanic, a gravity 鈥榖ubble鈥� that the player can create at will and then jump into to float around obstacles. Challenges included programming the core mechanic, building challenging puzzles, and working around engine limitations, especially on art file size and memory management. Overcoming these challenges helped us learn how to optimize our programming, art assets, and level layouts, and taught us to work together more efficiently to meet deadlines on time.
