https://eric-cousins.itch.io/cygnusPlanet Cygnus was my capstone project for the game design program, I worked on a team with 5 other developers to design, implement and test our project and ultimately feature it in the 2024 Level Up student showcase. Throughout the project I designed, programmed and iterated on the game's UI/UX features ranging from the camera controller to the game's interfaces and other quality of life features.
The game is a top down isometric shooter where players explore a desolate industrial world full of forgotten technology, dangerous insects and unique challenges to overcome.
