Production Objective:

To understand the general workflow of game production, and to gain knowledge not only in concept art, which is my specialty, but also in programming, effect design, and motion design from various perspectives. This will enable me to understand and smoothly advance projects with colleagues from different fields upon joining the company.

And because I focused on the objective solely, which is to know the development flow and the 3-month deadline, the quality of this game did not meet my standards; however, I believe I got lots of growth from this project.

Brainstorming Ideas and Concepts

Thinking about Core Mechanics and Experience:

What do we want users to experience by playing our game?
What do we want to convey through the game?

Concept Sketch

Visualize ideas and concepts.

What’s the completed game look like?
What is the worldview?

Since the player is a box and its movement is simple, like rolling dice, I decided to control the movement with scripts rather than creating motion with rigs this time.

UI / UX Design

Create UI Objects:

Title Mode Select
Level Select
Settings
In-Game

Creation of button functions associated with each UI, camera scripts, and game controllers (operation reception) customization associated with the UI and game situation. And wiring them accordingly.
