Jump Ship
Jump Ship is a mission based co-op FPS for up to 4 players, where you are the crew of a spaceship. Transition seamlessly from crewing the ship to on-foot exploration and space walks. Engage in intense battles both on the ground and in space, and always keep your ship upgraded and intact. Teamwork is key for survival and victory.
Key features:
-
Jump across the universe - Select from a variety of hand crafted missions with random elements. No two runs will be exactly the same.
-
Seamlessly go on and off ship - Once you’ve jumped with your ship, you can switch seamlessly between operating your ship, space walking and on-foot planetary exploration, it just works.
-
Upgrade, maintain, repair - Manage your ship as you scavenge for parts to upgrade or repair it, and adapt it to fit your needs.
-
Fly with a crew, or go solo - Jump Ship is best enjoyed with friends, but solo adventurers are welcome too.
Engine: Unity
Development time: 2+ years
A lot of my responsibilities during development are split between level design and visual scripting. I work closely with the art department to elevate the visual presentation of the game, and spend a lot of time iterating on various systems and tools with the programming team.
I have been given ownership of a lot of my work which often allows me to plan and pick my own tasks. I have also been responsible for creating many reusable events meant for the design team to create fully playable levels and gameplay beats in a timely manner. This focuses mostly on visual scripting, gameplay design and playtesting and has been a great learning experience.
My responsibilities in the project include: gameplay design, player mechanics design, prototyping, design of combat encounters, design of UX solutions, visual scripting, enemy design, level design and design of narrative events.
