Escape from Sharptooth Valley
"Escape From Sharptooth Valley is a mystery adventure platformer point and click game, with good plots and great characters. As it should be. This is also a game about trust, with different endings based on your choices." - Spock
Developed in Unity Engine, Escape from Sharptooth Valley is currently my largest project. It is complex enough to accommodate all the possible events that can occur within the game. The dialogue system was built using Articy Draft, which meets our needs, though we still need to adapt several elements to ensure it functions seamlessly.
