Gum Gum Cup

In GumGumCup, take part in the great bubble gum tournament! Use your skills to stick, slow down, block your opponents, and grab the cup to win the game!

It's a local 4-player physics-based party game made for my Final Year Project at ISART Digital.

Details

We're 3 game designers on this project, and the pitch was very simple: a party game based on physics with the idea of chewing gum as a toy. As no main mechanics were suggested in the pitch, we had to work as a team to think about how to create our mechanics, as we had a great deal of freedom. After several brainstorms, we created a cross-reference table of mechanics to compare combinations/synergies and see which game mechanics are the most versatile to prototype. For the moment, we've extracted 4 game mechanics to prototype and test before creating new mechanics.

Extract from the Game Concept Document: Games Pillars The design of your pillars is extremely important because when we're researching mechanics, we always base our designs on your pillars.

Level Design

I've made the level design of First Time User Experience / Tutorial, starting with Illustrator and Miro, then I've used the Unreal Engine geometry tools.

I've also made some blocking and prototype for arenas structures.
