My Role in the Project
My role in the project Cowaii Metal Edition was Lead Programmer and Producer.
I participated in this Jam with several classmates from the Digital Bros Game Academy, along with other members we met on site.
To tackle the 48-hour development period, once the theme was revealed, the team and I defined a project of compact size, fun, and with a simple core mechanic. This allowed us to quickly reach an advanced stage of development within the time available.
During production, given the number of programmers and tech designers involved, I focused mainly on coordinating with the Design, Sound, and Art departments, facilitating the team's work across the board. During programmers' breaks, I intervened operationally for polishing and bug fixing.
When it wasn't necessary to coordinate the team, I participated as an actor in the game trailer, presented at the end of the event and later made available on YouTube.
In the end, we completed development with a fully functioning project, which was available for free for a long period on the Google Play Store.
