Game Description:
Detective Office is a First Person Puzzle game where you can manipulate the environment and different objects to search what you need.
​
The game is a short challenge we did with a friend, coming from an Nvidia Up your Skills challenge where we needed to build an Detective Office environment but we decided to add some gameplay to it.
​
It took us 14 days of work, so it's pretty short and unpolished but it holds up quite well as a prototype.
Role :
- Designing Main Features
- Programming (Everything)
- Heavy testing through the production
- Balancing & bug fixing
What did I do:
I started to check around what kind of Detective kind of game would work to get the feeling of searching for things and examinate objet accurate.
I felt like a first person game would be better to get the right immersion and the real feeling of investigating and find evidences to progress on your own.
So I focused on basics interaction mechanics while implementing an examination feature, to be able to appreciate the environment and look for proofs more efficiently.
