Social Project: Accessible Board Game for Seniors

"Rich in Fish" is a tabletop game designed with key mechanics centered around risk-taking, variable choices, and upgrades, all encapsulated within a straightforward gameplay structure divided into three main components per round: the digital app phase, the decision-making turn, and the option to upgrade.

Over a two-month production period, I served as the Scrum Master and also took charge of designing the gameplay (both digital and tabletop), creating pixel art for certain cards, and crafting the tabletop artwork. Responsibilities excluded handling UI/UX and sound design for the digital app, drafting rules, and producing vector images for specific cards.

The game was meticulously crafted to appeal to a broad audience, with a special emphasis on making it accessible to seniors, individuals with cognitive impairments, those with visual challenges, and those who may be illiterate. As this project was part of a college endeavor, we collaborated closely with "Vitalità," a center dedicated to aging and longevity, catering primarily to seniors in need of support, particularly in fostering social engagement and intergenerational connections.

Cowgato

"Cowgato" was the project I developed during my first semester of Digital Games at PUC Campinas. Its aim was to create a 3D project with an environmental theme. Therefore, I chose to focus on animal conservation, specifically extinct or endangered species in Brazil, with the main character being the Margay Cat (Leopardus wiedii).

Over a period of 2 months, I was primarily responsible for gameplay planning, programming, and 3D modeling of environments and objects (excluding character models). The game features two areas: the first being an animal preservation area and the second being a race arena with a water bottle collection element.

Barcelona Code School Projects

Barcelona Code School idea was to during 2 months build a portfolio while teaching Unity unique points to add more depth to it i decided to imprive my game design skill thinking what I could do better for each game. In the next paragraphs i will describe what results I came with.

Runaway Kittens:

A top down 2d game which the objective was to deliver the cat to its owner, with a simple car control for being a quite simple game I was focused in explore its simplicity to its best focusing in improving its visuals with my own art and doing some simple UI, improved the obstacle spawning so it does not spawn at the player, cat or the owner, make a compass system for making easy to identify where to deliver the cats and make the map to be "procedural" make it visual different eah time.

Snowslide Rush:

A classical snowboard mobile 2d game, with just a torque mechanic and a modifiable sprite I tried to explore the procedural generation in general for the map and the visual spawning, making pits, rechargable boost, add a remove player movement after death and a ambient sound.
