College Project | Total Lockdown
​
I was tasked with a project to create a 2D rogue-like game for PC and Mobile called Total Lockdown as part of the Development group Intrinsic Designs.
​
This was my first game project, created in the Construct 2 Engine.

Myself and two other students made a small RPG game using the RPGMaker engine as a project during college that we then continued to develop further. While the game never made it to market, the experience of working as part of a team and taking on different roles for the project. This took around 3 Weeks in total.
