About:
Spooky Mansion Waterbuffalo is a competitive multi-player game consisting of a collection of mini-games similar to Fusion Frenzy or Mario Party. Up to four players compete in a series of competitive mini-games against other players or AI. Each mini-game is designed to have it's own gameplay mechanics and goal to make each playthrough interesting.
This game was developed by a team of 15 people over a 5 month period using an Agile process. It was developed in C# and XNA Game Studio 4.0 targeted towards Xbox Live. During Agile development the team was broken up into programmer and designer pairs for each mini-game.
My Tasks:
-Worked with a designer to design and develop two mini-games that ended up in the final game
-Developed a keep-away mini-game where one player holds onto an object as long as possible while avoiding other players and obstacles
-Developed a mini-game where all the players collect items strewn across the playing field to bring to the center area while dodging attacks from each other and an AI enemy in the center
-Created config files for both mini-games
-Implemented the summary/score screen for the mini-games that included UI and particles
