Snark Busters: High Society
The Game
Description
This was my second project for the Game Industry, and the first one for Alawar Stargaze. Snark Busters: High Society is a steam punk Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure Game, the third one in the critically acclaimed Snark Busters series.
The player controls the famous photographer Elizabeth Hughes, whose fiancé gets arrested right before her wedding under false charges. Elizabeth must try to prove her fiancé’s innocence by solving puzzles and minigames, while meeting interesting characters along the way and trying to join the exclusive Snark Busters Club.
Features
✓ 5 chapters
✓ 27 locations
✓ 11 mini-games
My Role in the Project
In this project, I coded 6 mini-games (shown in the pictures above).
By working closely with designers, artists and internal testers, I was able to finish the games fast and efficiently.
The mini-games were done in C++ using the Stargaze Framework.
This was a very beneficial experience. I was, again, the only foreigner in the team, but good documentation and communication allowed for the tasks to be done quickly and correctly.
