Umbra 2D

A winning mini Game Jam entry

The First Question

What is this game? Umbra is a Top Down game that utilizes a light and mirror mechanic to proceed that I along with 3 others worked to create as part of a mini Game Jam, There were 5 other groups who alongside us were tasked with creating a game in 5 days. This is the first game I have ever attempted to make and exposed me to the world of game design.

A video clip going through the gameplay

Mood board for inspiration we collectively worked on

some Pixel Art I contributed

Full Level 1

Level 2 + Unity

My rough planning for the level design that I later worked on in Unity itself

The final pixel art for the character the character I designed (Pixel art done by another member)

Separate health mechanics that I designed and coded to be later implemented.

Summary

Umbra was a game that we enjoyed making and was critical to my passion for design. Throughout, the production process, I dipped my toes in every area I could from Coding to Design to Pixel Art. I gained valuable knowledge of unity as well as the steps taken to make a game and collaborate well.
