Hungry Chest
2023
Hungry Chest is my second submission to a game jam and my first participation to a GMTK GameJam, a 48-hour game jam organized by the video game journalist Mark Brown and creator of the Game Maker's Toolkit YouTube channel. We participated as a team of 3 to the 2023 edition, for which the theme was "Roles reversed".
​
Our interpretation of the theme is a puzzle game where, instead of playing a knight exploring a dungeon in search for treasures, you play as the treasure chest and your goal is to ingest all the gold you can find while escaping from the knights.
Our game was ranked 211th out of the 6,735 entries.
Our team was made of a 3D artist, a scripter/game builder and myself, a developer. We developed the game for PC and Mac in Unity and collaborated using git.
My contribution
​The main feature I implemented for this game was the knights' chase system based on the A* pathfinding algorithm, and the grid system necessary to represent the level's geometry for the pathfinding algorithm. I was also in charge of the code architecture and implemented tools for our scripter/game builder.
