Gemory

Overview

Gemory is a two player, competitive memory game prototype developed in two weeks while abiding by the predetermined design constraint of “beyond entertainment.” One player is a dragon protecting its treasure horde while the other is a dwarf who is looting said treasure. The game is divided into rounds where players takes turns playing as each character. The dwarf’s objective is to stay on the board for as long as they can while the dragon’s goal is to match the tiles to knock the dwarf out as quickly as possible. Once the dwarf falls the players swap roles. Both players see the gems associated with the tiles and can memorize the board layout to use to their advantage. The players have access to abilities with varying effects, such as the dynamite item that randomizes the board.

This game also won the “Most Fun” award as part of a semester-long competition among sixty prototypes.

 Responsibilities and Contributions

As the sole technical designer on this project, I used C# to script the user interface and supporting classes such as the round and score managers. This required, due to our small team size and limited time frame, that I work closely with both our 2D artist as well as our programmer to ensure the needed art assets were produced for the UI and that they integrated well with the gameplay systems.
