Summary:
Jaywalker was my first experience working with a big team on a game. I spent a lot of time on this project studying the documentation for the Microsoft Hololens and implementing its features, as well as designing and implementing various other gameplay aspects. At this time, the Hololens was a very early prototype device and the documentation wasn't all there, so sorting through it was quite the challenge. The team and I were able to start and release Jaywalker in a span of four months.
My Contributions:
-
Implementing the unique features of the hololens after studying the documentation
-
Implemented an AR feature to get the game area to stick to a spot in your room
-

-
