Imagine That!

Imagine That! is a Run ‘n’ Gun shooter set in a daycare centre where you play as Jimmy, a young boy with a hyperactive mind and a penchant for mischief.

 

Step into a world of make-believe as our protagonist brings along his awesome weapon of annihilation, his trusty water gun! Exactly what he needs on his epic quest for freedom! 

Imagine That! is my second-year university team game. The team consisted of 7 members including myself. I took on the level designer and scrum master role. 

​

 

My Role

My main focus in regards to level design was that of progressive difficulty. The level's structure becomes more complicated and challenging as the player progresses whilst still allowing the player to maintain a state of flow. 

Originally the game had 3 playable levels planned but due to team and time restrictions, it became apparent that 1 polished level would be more achievable. Therefore I had to cut the second level mid-development.

 

Reflection 

The development process of this game taught me the fundamentals of scope when working to restrictive time frames. Even though a lot of time and work has gone into a section of development it doesn't mean it isn't one step from the cutting room floor. Although sometimes this cannot be helped I am very aware of the impact it has. This is an understanding I will always have with on any future projects whether it be academic or work-based.
