Inspiration

We couldn't think of an idea at first, but then we decided to interpret the theme of "Building" as a noun and came up with this niche game idea.

What it does

You play as a repairman using keyboard inputs to move around the screen and repair holes on the side of a building. If the holes overwhelm you, the building falls apart and you get a game over.

How we built it

We used the Ubisoft NEST game engine API and created the game in C++. Sprites of the entities in game were created with sprite sheets in Aseprite for static and animated objects.

Challenges we ran into

All of our team members were not very familiar with C++ and game engine tweaking. Learning the language and understanding the game engine. Coming up with the game logic was also a new experience for us. A few of our team members had little knowledge in development flow, but we overcame this challenge with peer programming and strong communication.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we were able to come up with a silly idea and complete the MVP. If we had more time, we could implement some cooler features, such as falling debris and multiple stages.

What we learned

We learned the fundamentals of C++ and how all the parts of a barebones C++ game engine turn in to a full-fledged game.

What's next for Repair Rush

Since we were only able to create a single stage, we would like to have a difficulty increasing game with falling obstacles that bring some more difficulty in the game.
