STOCK SEARCH

Stock Search! You are in the soup store, searching for stock- but the soup store is almost out of stock. You have a large machine gun with no stock, so it kicks you back a lot when you fire it. This game was created during a weekend for RIT Game Dev Club's Summer Game Jam. (The theme of the jam was "Out of Stock")

Art

I drew the character, their machine gun, the soup stock, a bullet casing, and a flash for the bullet trail.

Mentorship

The experience gap on this project was big. Two members of our four-person team were first-time game jammers. We weren't all game design majors, either. I shared lessons from my experience making games, and made sure we avoided a lot of rookie mistakes with version control, but I also wanted to listen to our beginners and let them do valuable work. I helped them find the resources and information they needed to start building the game, and helped them identify their strengths. In the end, I barely wrote a line of code for this fully-functional game, and I am so proud of that! Our team pulled together to learn fast and try new things.

What we used

Stock Search! was built using Unity. I used Sketches Pro, Krita, and GIMP for the art. We also got an illustration for our background from another artist, Vigorousjammer. The full credits are on our Itch.io page listed above.
