This was a fun project to be working on. We made this game with a team of 5 people,
consisting of two programmers (
Sven Roels, and myself),
and three artists (Sacha Claeys,
Stan Loiseaux, and
Tom Loux),
using Unity3D (C#). The goal was to make a game, ready to be
played on computers as well as tablets. It was my first time programming for tablets, but
it was fun.
In this game, you play a mountain goat, and you have to defend your mountain against
people who want to claim your mountain as their own. You have to run around the mountain,
making sure nobody reaches the top, where they want to place their flag. All around the
mountain, you will find little shacks. You can take over those little shacks to get a special
ability. When you take over the four shacks on the bottom of the mountain, a small goat will
come to your aid. When you take over the three shacks on the middle of the mountain, your horns
will get huge, and you will get a speedboost. However! You can take over those shacks, BUT! so
can the enemy! Once they take over one of the shacks, hikers will come out of them, and make it
more difficult for you to keep the enemy at bay. You are no ordinary goat though! You can trigger
a massive earthquake on your mountain, and you can also perform a rain dance which will make it
rain and wash all enemies away!
The goal of the game is to last as long as possible, and compete with your friends.
