CowQuest
CowQuest is a game that mixes the themes of dialogue and reputation to create a fun, whimsical experience, done within Unreal Engine using the PaperZD plugin.
​​
You're dropped into a world inhabited by farm animals, who are arguing amongst themselves. You're tasked to discover what's going on, interact with some funky friends, but be cautious of your reputation level!
NO ASSETS / SOUNDS ARE MINE.
A big part of this project was working on a TDD (Technical Design Document) which covers all the mechanics, their uses and the inspiration and research behind them. This helped me enhance my documentation skills and learn to back up my design choices with adequate industry examples.

PROJECT BRIEF
DESIGN
The development began with basic prototyping of mechanics, such as dialogue and reputation. Once these were functional, I could improve upon them to make more complex dialogue options and add in the assets.
​
Since that was the basis of my project, I then moved on to secondary mechanics like a basic inventory display, collecting items, and the ending cutscenes that have extra gameplay options!
​
I also did a lot of user testing throughout the entire process to not only ensure it was fully functional and free of bugs but fun and enjoyable for them too!​​
