This project challenged our team to recreate, and re-imagine, a classic 80’s arcade game from a pre-generated list. We, of course, choose Frogger. The first week had us recreate the game in it’s most basic form; implementing the core mechanics and obtaining the proper, ‘feel,’ of the game. The second week had us re-imagine what Frogger may look with a modern twist; our team decided that the game would be good in a 3D perspective, updated UI screens, added obstacles, and a jumping & tongue attack ability addition to the Frog. And, the final week was all about polish – implementing art work, SFX, balancing, etc… Throughout all of these weeks I acted as a producer, ensuring everyone stayed on task, a QA tester, playing the game iteratively looking for issues, recording those issues, and fixing them, and much more (such as: build manager and End Goal designer).
NOTE: All video & screenshots reflect the work of the entire team (art, FX, SFX, code, design, etc).
