Virtual Pet

The virtual pet system is a meta game used to drive balanced engagement with the curriculum. Every student is given a dinosaur to take care of. Dinosaurs require food and love everyday. Players can earn food by completing the other games in the app. They earn different skins and voices for their dinosaur by completing daily achievements. Daily achievements challenge the student to preform feats in a specific game. This mechanic can be utilized to encourage the player to focus on any curriculum the teacher desires.

My responsibilities for this Project:

• Game Design : I was tasked with coming up with a meta game we could use to drive engagement. I pitched and designed how we could used the virtual pet genera to influence what games our students focus on.

• UI : Designed and implemented the UI needed to for the Virtual Pet Scene and achievements. Responsible for making the UX for the meta game accessible.

• Polish : Implemented environment art, VFXs, UI, and sounds.
