BAT BOTS
ROLE
UI Programmer & UI/UX Designer
DESCRIPTION
Bat Bots is a arcade-style shooter taking inspiration from classic arcade games. When the latest prototype of cybernetic bats have escaped from a research facility it's your job to bring them back using your trusty stun gun.
Play Classic mode to try and beat the high score, or jump into Competitive or Defense mode with up to 4 players for some multiplayer action!
What originally started out as a class project for a Game Processes class quickly become one of the biggest projects I have had the pleasure of working on. Over the Summer of 2024, development continued as a part of RIT's Roll Your Own Co-op Program where the team and I developed new features for the game, including local multiplayer and player customization. During this time we followed a Scrum-like workflow across six 2-week sprints while utilizing Jira for Task Management.
After the summer the team and I continued working on the game in our free time, polishing the rest of the game and preparing it for release on Steam at the end of 2024.
Bat Bots released as a free to play title on Steam on November 25, 2024. As of December 3rd 2024, it has reached 300 unique players.
MY CONTRIBUTIONS
I worked as the UI Programmer and UI/UX Designer over both development periods. This meant I was in charge of implementing all of the interfaces within the game for our systems such as game mode selection, game settings, player customization, achievement frontend, and player scores.
I developed all of the interfaces in the game using Unity and C#, working with both the frontend and backend to ensure that not only were the interfaces fully functional and behaved properly, but that they were also visually appealing and polished.
I was also in charge of handling the game's onboarding systems, and worked to make sure all of the game's mechanics and rules were clearly conveyed to new players so they could understand and enjoy the experience.
