This was a 1 year remote self-internship where I chose to make a sci-fi indie first person horror game named Unraptured. To do this I had to prepare a formal pitch document for the project, explaining my goals and how it fills a gap in the marketplace. For this I chose the gap between horror games designed for younger kids and horror games intended for mature adults. I struggled to find any that seemed to be aimed primarily at young adults. For the duration of this project, I was given a lot of freedom. However, this meant that I had to self-manage and use a lot of initiative although I feel like this was valuable experience that built up my skillset dramatically. Both in terms of practical game making experience and workplace skills. I designed a unique gameplay hook which emphasized the feelings that I wanted the players to feel while playing (panic and dread) inspired by mechanics used to invoke the same feeling I had discovered in my market research. While the project faced hurdles, as any games development would, I managed to come up creative solutions to most issues I faced. With me being a sole developer, this also allowed to work outside my comfort zone and expand my skillset working more in depth with AI and UI than I would have in shorter form university projects. This experience really helped me fill some of the gaps in my game development journey that wouldn’t be covered by in a typical university environment. Sadly, due to technical issues outside of my control, the project was put on hold near the end of its predicted development timeline. However, I am taking this as an opportunity to develop it further and hopefully aim towards a commercial release in the future.
