Overview
Judgement Lobby is a multiplayer VR game developed by myself and two others under contract at Squido Studios.
The project focused on creating an original IP built around structured social interaction for groups of 4–8 players.
I was responsible for programming the main game loop, reactive environment, and interactables.
Because the game was multiplayer and utilized a peer-to-peer connection,
code needed to be network friendly and gracefully handle breaks caused by the host disconnecting.
We were provided with a template project and one month to take the game from concept to storefront,
which meant often needing to derive new gameplay systems from existing frameworks.
Working in a very small group against extremely tight deadlines also meant I was involved in other domains such as;
Game Design, 3D Art, Writing, and Quality Assurance.
