My responsibilities extended more that a Lead programmer I was the leader of the entire project and team many different position like game designer, producer and director took place in order to make this project possible with a small team.
Some of my responsibilities made in the project was but not limited:
Art: UI, Logo
Designer: UI, Level, Light and post process, some effects like orbs, slashes, jumps, deaths, runing, etc...
Game design: Lead game designer of the team, some main designs player, enemies, feature, obstacles, core gameplay system.
Game developer: Lead game developer implement most of the the programing and features of the game such as all the player, enemies systems, some of the individual enemies, almost all of the UI implementation, game manager,helper code and general code that helps the team works more efficient like a animation, effects,sound data table, surrounding sound implementation, UI easy inputs, etc..
When you're a team of only two developers, you end up wearing a lot of hats (and I do love hats!).
For more detail information about the game design the Design and the Post Mortem documents are here!
Laser-the player will be able to shoot a laser beam that deals heavy damage to the enemy.
Wall jump - Allows the player to jump between walls and get to the higher platform. Allows the player up to a second jump to go higher on the vertical level. Player will jump from any wall surface to the opposite direction if the player does not jump but stays in the wall direction he will slide and if the player does not jump and do not face on the direction of the wall, he will fall to the ground.
Attacks-Allows the player to damage the enemies and breakable objects. The player will perform a series of multiple attack animations each time he presses the attack button.

We set out to create a 2.5D game by taking as references popular games like Ori and the Will of the Wisps and Hollow knight while adding new features that will make the game more original. The Blind Forest is built from the ground up in Unity, creating the code, concept, level design and game design from scratch. We spent 1 months to design the concept and the design document for the game and the next 1 month on the project rebuilding the original game in Unity so that we had a solid foundation to work from to the next month. Then we started to add new systems and features. In total the project took 3 months to made.
The game is design to be with fluid and precises movements and mechanics with a full of challenges enemies that are very different from each other’s and requires different tactics to be defeated.
