Bullet 42 was our project for the one-week-long company game jam made by three other interns, the chief of staff, and myself. You can also download and play this yourself as this is publically released on itch.io/bullet42.

What is Bullet 42

My responsibilities

As this was a game jam it started off with us sitting as a group and coming up with concepts, everyone gave out some creative ideas and we ended up with 3 concepts that then the entire company could vote on which they wanted to see developed or join development themselves.
For this game jam, the team consisted of 2 programmers, a designer, an artist, and our chief of staff who did voice acting and sound design.

As one of the programmers I primarily focused on these tasks while the other programmer focussed on other aspects:
- Experiment/prototype different starting positions (pre-placed gun or free movement with the gun).
- Set up tools and systems for different spawn points and targets.
- Set up an interactable main menu environment (physical buttons etc.).
- Create a scope that would dynamically zoom depending on gun orientation.
- Add support for multiple targets at once.
- Add guidance highlights to targets.
- Create time scale adjustments tool used for bullet and target mode.
