ABOUT:

You are a typical action-adventure hero, thrown into a very non-typical world! The residents of Pizzatown are throwing a party, but their pizza has been stolen by bandits! You’ll have to infiltrate the bandits’ hideout – and that’s only the start of your wacky adventures! It only gets crazier from here on out. Meet endearing characters as you venture to deliver the most important pizza ever.

This was my team's Game Studio project for Clark University's game design MFA program. I was the director of the project, and we all worked together to build a unique and humorous game. Over the course of just one semester, we built the first dungeon and story arc. We made sure to keep our scope low, since we only had three months to make the game. After that, I put finishing touches on the project, which was mainly just implementing art assets.

Note that this game is still in a prototype state. The game still lacks a proper ending, as the game is over when you defeat the last bandit in the room with the switches. Nevertheless, I am tremendously proud of the work we all got done in just three months! Good job, team.

Additionally, this game was made using the Mythril2D asset pack, a tool that allows Unity developers to create their own top-down action-adventure games. This gave us a tremendous boost in building the game.
