Inspiration

With everything going on nowadays, people are starting to feel less connected. While we are focused on physical illnesses during these times, we tend to forget to take care of our mental health. Our team wanted to make a game that would show a bit about how hard it is to live with depression to give a chance for people to have fun while learn more about mental health. We wanted to start conversations about mental health and allow people to connect.

What it does

The mobile game, ‘Hope’ portrays the life of a girl who is going through depression, difficulties are solved through mini-games, while her daily life is being portrayed through animations and comic strips.

How we built it

We used Unity to create this game, and we used Procreate to create all of the assets.

Challenges we ran into

Some members of our team were new to programming, and they learned a lot of new skills like C# programming and navigating Unity. Also, we had a lot of assets to draw in such a short amount of time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we made a complete game with great purpose in such a short time.

What we learned

Through the development of this game/project, we learnt various new skills regarding the use of unity and C#.

What's next for Hope

We hope to continue adding more mini-games to showcase more aspects of mental health and depression. We may create other versions of the game focusing on different aspects of mental health.

I handled the back-end and some events. Basically just the coding areas. One of the specific ones I did was the alarm minigame along with all the scene transitions

Coming into this project, I wanted to learn more advance techniques Unity has to offer. That is why I created our final cutscene using Unity Timeline. The Timeline feature is an advance feature in the Unity Engine that can be used to create a full-fledged cutscene when combined with animations. I created the skeleton for our protagonist & used Unity Skinning Editor to make the protagonist sprite movable and responsive. In the end I am proud to create an animated cutscene through Unity Timeline & Rigging.

It was my first time creating the game, and I really enjoyed learning about the process. I created all of the art assets needed for the game. I also led the overarching game flow, story, and design. For the pitch, I focused on telling the reason behind making Hope.
