About
Tanuki Time is a 3D single-player game in which the player plays as a Tanuki with shape-shifting abilities. You utilize your ability to shapeshift into inanimate objects to solve puzzles and avoid angry citizens all in an effort to steal enough food to feed your Tanuki babies.

This project was built in an effort to create something small that we could put onto the Steam store, though we realized that the concept wasn't something we wanted to keep pursuing. Still, it was a great opportunity to hone my design and programming abilities. I met with my team bi-weekly for several weeks before we decided to move onto something new.
-
Worked with a team of 3 to establish a game concept and prepare a development outline with the intention of submitting it to the Steam store.
-
Hand-programmed a unique character controller for our Tanuki, in which the player could climb and pick up objects You can also transform them into inanimate objects. This allows the player to switch between character controllers intuitively.
-
Programmed NPCs with AI pathing and a visualized site-line.
-
Designed our first level, blocking out the environment and programming basic-level interactions.
-
Worked with artists to establish characters and environment. Documented thoroughly to make the asset creation process smooth!
