DISCO IS DEAD! (2016)

 

ABOUT THE GAME

• Challenge: Create a game for the Sheridan arcade cabinets.

• Created in Unity.

• Made in 5 days in June 2016.

​

PREMISE

Grab a friend and play as two disco-loving hunks who are trapped inside a zombie-infested nightclub. The only weapon you have to defensive yourself... is slapping!

​

MY ROLE

Narrative Designer & Documentation

• Design characters with artist, write back story, update documentation, storyboard and produce story trailer.

​

DESIGN CHALLENGES

Despite this being an arcade game, I still found ways to implement narrative. Coming up with a solid backstory helped to not only enhance our theme, but to also make better design choices. Additionally, I was able to compose a story trailer to quickly inform players what the premise is.
