Description:
Within 48 hours (not 72 due to our work schedule constraints), we needed to create a game based on a genre of our choice, but with the removal of a mechanic that is often associated with it (i.e. FPS without shooting)
We decided to pick the RTS genre, but without the ability to have global knowledge of the map, as well as only being able to issue commands to units near your commander (as opposed to have god-view and omnipresent control).

Game Name: Color My World
Sophomore - Unity Project (3D)
Individual Project
Description:
Color My World features you arriving in a dreamland, where you could paint (and un-color) objects in order to solve color related puzzles. Features 5 different puzzles and an achievement system.
I was supposed to create a low-fidelity game which was meant to allow for Player Expression. I was inspired by Alice in Wonderland to create such a world, and to also give the player to creatively express himself by painting the world with his own color choices.
