Trip To Tribar
Isometric Puzzle Game Prototype
The Project
Trip To Tribar was developed in a university project. The participants of the course had to develop their own game prototype within 40 hours in a game engine of their choice. This challenge was a great opportunity to put my learned skills in a limited time frame to the test. I was able to expand my own knowledge of game engines and game programming and gain valuable experience in prototyping and time management.
Prototype Development
I was inspired by the impressive level design, based on optical illusions, of Monument Valley, a great puzzle game from Ustwo. I wanted to find out how it worked and implement it in my own version for study purposes. To develop the game prototype, I used the Unity engine and created custom game assets in Blender.
Implementing the isometric perspective and creating the optical illusions and impossible shapes was a bit of a challenge. A custom modular pathfinding system has been created so that the character can also move well within the levels. This way the game can be easily expanded with new levels.
