Context
Babel is my graduation game at ESMA - Toulouse. We're a team of ten (including an associate sound designer). Our goal is to spend ten months to carry a full game production from pitch to ship.
​
The original pitch of Babel was to make a real time strategy game about building the mythical Babel tower. However, a lot of water has passed under the bridge, shaping Babel into the cooperative city builder it is today.
​
Struck by a sandstorm, two small desert tribes have lost everything . With another player, rebuild the city, unite the tribes, upgrade your buildings, and get ready to face the next storm ! You will enjoy your shared city ... while it lasts.
But what did I do ?
In the Babel team, I've found my role balance being a game designer at the begining of milestones, and switching to programmer to help the production before shipping.
I have dealt with issues such as :
-
Iterating the initial game concept
-
Preparating oral presentations to introduce new feature ideas to the team
-
Find and trial design retakes (prototype, test, iterate)
-
Developping data structures alongside with the design
-
Developping integration pipelines
