Project Overview

Over the course of six months, me and a group of students at AIE set out to make a game for our major project, and Overboard was what we had chosen. On this project I worked as the designer and was in charge of designing the gameplay, game feel, and the overall presentation and creative direction.

Over the course of the project I had learned a great deal when it came to working with a team most of all, but also in regards to game development.
