Impact – Game Design Thesis
Project Description
Impact was my Game Design postgraduate thesis project. The concept was a post-apocalyptic top-down car combat game with random loot mechanics inspired by the Diablo series. I contributed heavily to the programming, design, and art direction of the project. My partner on the project was Eric Oldfield-Rojas.
