In A Dystopian Murder Show, a 2D action game, players control two mutants sharing one body. Trapped in deadly arenas, they try to survive against brutal hordes of monsters and get the highest score as possible. It is the first collaborative project I have developed as part of my studies.

My responsibilities as a game programmer were:

• Implementing general gameplay systems:
• Input Systems, including support for Xbox Game Pad
• Combat and enemy behaviour
• UI, scene management, camera, menu-, level- and animation systems
• Trailer creation and editing with Vegas Movie Studio

ONLINE:

• Build Download via itch.io
• As Showrunners. A proof of concept for a commercial mobile game. As of now, development has been paused, though.
• Via Cologne Game Lab as The Laurel & Hardy Murder Case (initial title)
