Ballpit Chase

Ballpit Chase Project Description

This game was a group project (the team is linked on the itch page) with four weeks’ time. We made a local multiplayer tag game.

I was in a group with one other developer and three artists.

You can play this game with a controller and a keyboard. You need a separate device for every player and you can play with a minimum of 2 and maximum of 4 players.
You play in a ball pit playhouse and you have different intractable parts of the map to get away from the tagger.

What I made

I made everything of the map, the camera, the menu's, the UI, the settings, and I did all the audio.

We had one group leader, and this role rotated trough the group for the duration of these four weeks.
I was group leader one of these weeks, so I had to take care of the planning and the standups for that week next to all the features I was building.

The players and connection where done by the other dev in our team but I did assist with some of this and we worked together on putting all the lose objects into the final game scene.

I am really happy with the AudioManager I used in this project. I already had the base of this script in an old project but I upgraded/polished it in this project, you can see this script at the bottom of the page.
