Pizzatown Hero

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 bounced ideas off of each other while collaborating. Over the course of 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.

This game is still in a very early prototype state. Additional touches will come later, but you can check out how the game is right now! The future of this project is uncertain. I would love to make Pizzatown Hero a full-length game with eight dungeons, but I will have to see if that is in the cards. I do want to at least finish up the first story arc and polish the beginning part of the game to perfection.

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. Plenty of assets from Mythril2D are still present in this build, but they will all be replaced by original assets soon enough.
