Inspiration
Belonging in tech is a work in progress for minorities. There's a shortage of women in development roles in the industry, and there are even fewer female game developers and BIPOC women developers.
Because reading books and online articles don't cut it for instilling confidence I need and absorbing information, I wanted access to new ways to learn. Given my interest in creating games for social good and wanting to work on more Unity projects, I thought it'd be opportune to learn how to create a turn-based game where I can visualize myself defeating my inner demons.
What it does
Crush Dem Demons is a turn-based RPG game where you (Player 1) and your sidekick of courage defeat inner demons personified like fear, comfort zone, naysayer Ned, and inner voice Ivy. Games can help develop our resilience by allowing us to digest and retain information in new ways.
How we built it
I built this in Unity, C#
Challenges we ran into
Learning Unity/C# again after months of not working on a Unity project - always feeling like a beginner.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I did this hack solo!
What we learned
The importance and usefulness of singletons, avoiding triggering events and routines accidentally, reading documentation, a lot of game design and software architecture/planning, and piecing together tutorials!
What's next for Crush Dem Demons
Flesh out this hack!!!
