C# Unity Visual Studio Game Design Scrum

January 2018 - June 2018

I worked on this project in a group of 7 as a Bachelor Project for the Media Technology program. The purpose and goal of this project were to create an Air hockey game for a touch table that corresponds to the size of an actual Air hockey table. Following the customer's requirements, the game was developed to be exhibited in an exhibition environment. The main focus of the project was to create a unique gaming experience with clear feedback that increases players' understanding of the game's functionality.

At the request of the course management, the project was carried out following the Scrum method. The method was based on the distribution of tasks in connection with time, priorities and continuous changes in customer requirements. The agile approach was based on the division of the project into sprints.

The game was developed in the Unity game engine with Microsoft Visual Studio as IDE and GitHub as version control tools. Game physics was developed by the project group after examining various solutions, including Unity's collision management. The design and user interface were inspired by the classic Air hockey game with the exhibition environment and the target platform in mind. The target platform was important as the size of the touchpad affected, among other things, the placement of the objects. Various forms of feedback were then used to improve the players' understanding of the game.

The result of the project was a working Air hockey game that could be played on a touch table. Like regular Air hockey, two players can play against each other. In addition to the usual functionality of an Air hockey game, some power-ups can be taken up by the players, which either simplify or complicate the game.
