To Ashes

To Ashes is an Action-Adventure game made for Android. The game is about Lucy, a girl made out of fire. Lucy has been locked up in her parents’ mansion for 21 years and now she wants to escape. She explores the mansion and uncovers secrets about her past and why she is made out of fire.

To Ashes is made as part of the DADIU program in a team of 16 students over the span of seven weeks. I was one of the five programmers on the team. This game is made in Unity, using C#.

My main responsibilities were:

• Making various prototypes of features and gameplay mechanics

• Implementing input for both mobile and PC

• Implementing gameplay mechanics:

  • Movement: Lucy can do a normal dash and charged dash.

  • Lucy’s ability to burn through ropes: when Lucy dashes into one end of a rope, she would travel through the rope to the other end.

  • Water pits: these are objects that kills Lucy when she dashes into it

  • Water sprays: these are objects that damages Lucy when she dashes into it, these water sprays can turn on and off at certain intervals

• Implementing Custom Inspectors so the designers could iterate quickly on mechanics and systems.

• Bug fixing
