Pakicetus Redux
This project was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Starting in Spring 22, I led a team of five (2 other programmers, 2 artists) with the goal of creating a fun, engaging game that effectively communicated our learning goals to the player. The game is nearly complete, but we're working on adding more levels before releasing it on Steam!
The game is built in Unity with C#.
Plot Summary:
Due to severe global climate crises, the surface of the earth has become uninhabitable for humanity. So, a group of scientists, engineers, and explorers, called the 'Pak', built a colony deep in the ocean, along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, as a refuge from the surface conditions. The colony was named Bastion, as it was their final hope for survival.
The player enters into the story years after Bastion was completed. The colony has been a huge success, and will soon need more room to expand. As one of our best submarine pilots, you have volunteered to pilot one of our smaller ships, 'The Salvation', to accompany the larger fabrication ship, 'The Forge', to find a new location and begin building the new colony.
