Game idea
In Planet-Hopper players embody space explorers who must go from one planet to the next, until they reach outer space to avoid getting blasted by a star going supernova.
Players will have to get fuel, avoid alien menaces and rescue survivors on each planet before using their spaceship to hop to the next planet.
My responsibilities
- Project management: Coordination of a team of 5 people (in different time zones)
- Game design: Development of core game concept, mechanics and design vision. Creation of GDD.
- Level design: Design and implementation (in Godot) of all of the levels. Swapping place-holders for final assets.
- Narrative design: Creation of the game’s narrative and characters backstories.
What got cut because of time
- Implementation of “level selection” level in the style of Slay the Spire with a level randomizer
- Further testing to avoid an overwhelming difficulty spike in the last levels
