Inspiration

Popular games such as Clash of Clans and Age of War contributed to our ideation.

What it does

An innovative take on the classic tower defense game.

How we built it

Piskel, a free online pixel animation software, and Unity Collaborative where the bulk of our development was accomplished. We equipped two artists and two characters which was an awesome team composition.

Challenges we ran into

Collisions were very difficult. Hit Boxes and hurt boxes were hard to manage in a balanced manner. We had several issues regarding units walking through each other and freezing. Converting animations to a compatible format for Unity was also a challenge on our graphics end.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are very proud of our UI, Graphics, Creativity and the fact that we had the most coveted resource in our whiteboard markers.

What we learned

We learned a TON about animations, working on a tight timeline, and team collaboration. We are excited to work together more in the future.

What's next for Confection Infection

We would love to add more characters, levels, bosses, upgrades and other features. During play testing we will be continuously addressing issues regarding collision and balancing. In the near future, we are also looking forward to submitting this game to the public on GooglePlay and the App Store.

Created by

I worked closely with Quentin Small developing the application using Unity. I worked mostly on UI and implementing animation. I am positive our game is intuitive, creative, and fun!

Austin Trivett
My greatest focus for this project was on game mechanics and structure. Since we had two developers, it only made sense to have one focus on UI and the other focus on game scripting. My greatest challenge was collision handling and I am most pleased with my use of Queue data structures to make spawning occur in a logical way.

Quentin Small Jr.
I know absolutely nothing about coding/computer science so I used my skills in animating and drawing to make the game come to life. Design is among the most important aspects of any mobile app so I gave it my all to make that portion as strong as it can be!

Bram Stebbings
I was in charge of character animations and scenery. I worked with Bram Stebbings to create a vibrant and inviting game. We worked very hard to make the game more than presentable.
