Wild in the West is my 3rd year university project, this was a collaborative effort with members of Ironstrike Games Ltd.

The game is based around a small town in the wilds of the American west, which is being invaded by robots. The player must fight off these robots and help the towns people as they make their way to the heart of the problem; a crashed spaceship in an abandoned gold mine.

This game is aimed at a younger audience and as such has a very cartoon-y art style. with this also being targeted to children, we are sticking strongly to the PEGI age ratings regulations.

You can download and play a demo of the game via the link below. We also have a Game Design Document which covers all the aspects of the design and implementation in detail. Lastly please consider checking out the developer meeting podcasts where we recorded our weekly team meetings.

This is the result of my second year long term project on my Games Development course.
This was a cooperative group project with two others (Heinrich & Irma Adams) as part of Team SHI, where I took the role of programmer.

The key idea we wanted to work on was a puzzle game that was different from the standard Portal, Myst style logic based puzzle games.

Instead we went with a puzzle game with a focus on movement puzzles that require planning and understanding to complete.

The artistic style we went for was inspired by the likes of Salvador Dalí, and André Breton. The title is also based on one of Dalí's works "Galatea of the spheres".

This project not only comprised of the game project, but also the business plans and documenting the entire process in a professional manner.

The game design document is available to view at the link below.
