Scent of Death

Indie Multiplayer Battle Royal Game

Metrics

My Approach

My Approach

In my journey to create "Scent of Death," a cross-platform indie game, planned a systematic and strategic approach focused on innovation, user-centred design, and effective problem-solving.
Planned and executed, to make a highly functional and captivating game.

My Approach

Vision and Innovation

My Approach

Rather than competing with established market monopolies, we identified their weaknesses.
So we introduced AI-generated maps to save manual work, enabled users to sell in-game art, and provided a cross-platform experience, setting it apart as an innovative indie game.

My Approach

Resolving Complex Problems

My Approach

My skills were limited by my experience.
Had to dive headfirst into new areas such as UI design, code structure, game design, game logic, avatar creation, environment lighting, and, crucially, game optimization for multiplayer.
The to-do list was extensive, but my motivation remained steadfast as I carefully scheduled and tackled each challenge.

My Approach

Identifying Unique Challenges

My Approach

Throughout this journey, encountered many challenges. At times, various modules would clash, demanding immediate attention and solutions.
These challenges extended beyond the game development itself. Balancing personal commitments, securing investments, growing the team, and working within tight schedules presented additional hurdles.

My Approach

User-Centric Design

My Approach

The game was supposed to be cross-platform, hence I researched games of similar capabilities and studied their design.
Also wanted stuff in the game which felt new and not some design being continued from years ago.

My Approach

Meeting User Needs

My Approach

Beyond the technicalities, the core goal is to make the game enjoyable and resonate with players.
Made the game's demo accessible to everyone and provided feedback forms for suggestions and improvements.
Engaging with the gaming and streaming communities, and valued their feedback, which greatly contributed to enhancing the game.
