Project Overview

Hamster Havok was the final module of my last year at university, developed over five weeks in Unreal Engine 5 by a team of 10 students. As a Senior Technical Designer, I contributed to creating the framework and scaleable scaffold that other designers would use to develop their tasks. 

My tasks consisted of setting up inheritance trees and efficient game mode switch/managing. Furthermore, I contributed by creating the Hamster Pool game mode from scratch. Lastly, this project aimed to simulate a professional studio environment, which developed my communication and collaboration skills.

Created as part of the University of Staffordshire's Collaborative Games Development Module.
