Overview:

Ground Up is my first venture into game design for a team project in a professional environment. me and a team of 7 others produced a game over a period of 2 months with a 2 week planning period. it is a round based tower defense with real-time combat were you control a group of humans colonising an alien planet.

Responsibilities:

• Technical Design
• Data Struct Implimentation
• UI Implimentation
• Team Coordination
• Balancing
• Kanban Managment

Project State:

The development period of Ground Up ended with the project in a mostly feature complete state. features included were:

• A data driven real-time round based combat system where enemies spawn at the edge of the map and move in to attack your crops.
• A level progression system where more towers are unlocked after each level is beaten.
• Towers that affect high-level gameplay(i.e. a sunflower that lowers the price of all other towers).
• diverse options for different playstyles.
