Hoshypot

Hoshypot is a game that was developed for AIE, using the prompt "Whole New Genre". I was drawn to this prompt as it allowed me to do something "outside-the-box" creative and test my design skills.

​

I decided to generate a unique game experience by focusing on scoring as gameplay, with player's having to notice the points available within a time limit in order to learn that point. The concept was simple but original, and I helped onboard players using the familiarity of six-sided dice.

​

The fact that this was my first foray into using Unreal Engine 5, and doing a style of gameplay that the engine wasn't necessarily suited to, there was not time for polishing elements such as sound or a robust tutorial. Nevertheless, I believe this project ended up as an interesting proof of concept and enjoyable player experience.
