A first-person 3D tycoon PC game, a hobby project, inspired by my former job at Coles.
I started this project solo on 14/11/2021, and I've made progress on it every Summer.
The customers are flying in through the doors in a hurry to pick up
the latest and tastiest hams fresh under your counter! It’s your job as a solo deli
worker to serve each customer the correct flavour and amount of ham under a certain
amount of time. Each correct service awards you with Deli Coins to upgrade machinery
and unlock new ham flavours! You can find out more about my project on
Instagram,
where I post game updates! The latest versions of the game can be found on
itch.io.
Game Designer
I've been working on the interatable objects and customers at the moment,
and wish to refine these elements a bit more before moving onto unlocking new hams and improving the UI.
Gameplay Programmer
I'm using my knowledge of player movement and basic AI, and
with more time, I'll perfect these mechanics.
UI Designer
I've started the UI design and will keep it simple till I get to
the more important features.
Artist
I modelled the cases using Blender, though I may get the chance to work
with someone on this project, where I won't be making more assets since that's not what I specialise in.
Unity/C#
Since I'll be working on the programming for this project alone,
I'll have to rely on my knowledge of Unity and a careful selection of Youtube tutorials to write clean, bug-free code.
Game Design
My game design decisions need to be done with care, since
I'll be in charge of the final say in how the game should play. There weren't be an tutors to question
any mechanics and decisions, so I'm once again relying on what I've learned throughout my degree.
GIT
Backing-up my work will be very important, especially if I do bring
someone else onboard the project, so we can efficiently share project files.
Blogging
I've done Game Update Blogging before in one of my units, and will
use my knowledge to effectively deliver exciting news to my following on
Instagram.
