At DigiPen Institute of Technology, first year students were tasked with creating a text-based MS-DOS prompt styled game with a team of other students. The main purpose of the project was for students to learn developer roles such as Designers, Producers, Technical Directors. Making a simple game allowed for students to focus on learning C/C++ as a coding language and how to plan for milestones such as Alpha and Beta milestones.
In Technical Support: The Game, the player is a technician in the space station, Kraken, which has been infested with mutated alien bugs. The player navigates through many rooms of the space station and deals with the bugs using various weapons.

During development, I was tasked with creating the AI for enemy movements and combat, including boss bugs and the final boss, the Queen Bug. I also handled player movement and collisions / interactions with the environment. Designed a few levels and balanced combat weapon abilities.
