A professional-level vertical slice, it was made by a joint team of programmers and artists from the Video Game Development Course alongside designers and a producer from Video Game Enterprise, Production and Design. The objective of the production was threefold: Showcase our ability to create a fun productShowcase the feasibility of the project; that we can solve technical, artistic, design and production challenges that ariseShowcase the proficiency of the team in their respective disciplines To that end 90% of the game is written in C++ with the remaining 10% being done in Blueprints. In addition, the game features a combination of inhouse and outsourced assets - The Main Hub and Laboratory being almost exclusively inhouse. Overall, it has been a blast to work on and I hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed working on it!
