ABOUT THE PROJECT :
Once the greatest god humanity had ever worshipped, Koura's name is no longer venerated. New gods replaced him, and his statues fell into disrepair... Building his anger throught decades, Koura shall now go on a rampage and crush those impostor gods' statues. New ones will be erected for him, or else humans will have to pay the price of Koura's Wrath !
In order to destroy the fake god's statue, you'll have to reach it and gather enough strenght to obliterate it. But followers of that god won't let you blaspheme it : You'll have to use your golden disks to crush those nuisances, by throwing and recalling them. Facing a whole herd of fanatics, disks' positioning is the key to a winning strategy !
Wrath is a short prototype for a tactical-RPG game that could be enhanced by more content, featuring all the required basic systems of the game genre, as well as personalized tools.

MY WORK ON THE PROJECT :
As Gameplay and Systems Programmer of the project,
I worked on key systems and tools to allow the game designers to create the wanted experience.
-
I developed the main systems required for a tactical-RPG game, including turns management, objectives, skills usability and action points consumption.
-
I worked on the disks' physics, trajectories and general behaviours. That includes tools allowing the game designers to create skills, such as curved trajectories, disks that travels by all other in-range disks...
-
Readability and predictability are crucial on Tactical-RPGs.
I worked deeply on Signs, including tooltips, previews of the different actions, enemies states and range...

MY WORK ON THE PROJECT :
As Lead Programmer and Producer of the project, I had an overall vision of what was going on, while working directly on the prototype.
-
On the prototype, I mainly worked on the controller : its movements, its attacks, and all of the skills the player can unlock.
-
I also integrated a great part of the assets, mostly animations (for both the player and the enemies) but also sounds and visual effects.
-
My producer job was mainly to make sure that everyone had something to do for a specific deadline, in order to dispense evenly the work to do and make sure that the production is doing fine.
