Description

As the lead programmer for Escape From Tomorrow, I had the opportunity to develop and implement a dice-rolling system that determined the outcomes of actions taken by the superheroes' party. While the game development did not advance to the prototyping stage, our design team made solid progress in shaping how the game's actions and mechanics would function, laying the groundwork for engaging gameplay before we planned to delve deeper into the story narrative.

Escape From Tomorrow is a narrative-driven game that takes inspiration from comic book novels where ordinary teenagers with superpowers try to escape from an institution. The gameplay revolves around key decision points associated with guiding the party of teenage superheroes through pivotal steps in the escape route. Coding the mechanics for these key decisions was a rewarding challenge, and it offered great insight into the collaborative process of game development. We encountered several hurdles in specifying the design tasks; however, these challenges made the experience invaluable and provided great learning for future projects.
