History & Development
FLOOD IN THE SPUD FACTORY
Flood in the Spud Factory was a project made in 4 weeks for my third and penultimate games design brief of year one. This being to make a finished arcade game that I could submit to Norwich Games Festival at the end of the month. As far as I am aware, no projects got shown at the event to make way for year two projects to get shown instead.
The game was made almost independently by me, doing the development in Unreal Engine 5, Models in Blockbench, Textures in Photoshop/Paint.net, and music in Soundtrap. Another individual was named in the credits here: Pilip Lawicki. Part of the brief was to incorporate an element of music or sound from the year one electronic music students. They created a pool of assets to use, so I included a few sounds from him in this project.
I had no intention of making this game public, but complete enough to be shown in the event as the brief mentioned. That was completed, and exported to itch so it could be played by the public regardless as a basic demo of what an arcade game could have been. I didn't feel that past this projects completion, that I needed to return to development for a future release. A one and done deal for college. I ended up getting mostly excellent passes on all targets, and good passes on the rest. (Distinction/Merit). This project only counted for my unit grades (needed to pass the class), not my actual diploma grade.
