Synopsis: Aliens Want Our Mascot?! is a tower defense simulator released on iOS and Android platforms. Band together with your favorite high school archetypes to defend Bovine High's school mascot from an alien abduction!
As part of MassDigi's 2024 DigiStudio Program, I directed post-release development to increase engagement and enjoyment on this game. This included prototyping, testing and iterating upon the game to increase player understanding and engagement. I led the team through this process, conducting meetings and organizing each sub-team. Finally, I worked as the lead narrative designer to add story and worldbuilding for our finalized build.
Producer
As producer for MassDigi's 2024 DigiStudios Program, I am responsible for managing 4 different teams, encouraging hard work, communication, and innovation.
My contributions include many changes to the front-end of the game to increase engagement through several methods:
-
Adding an almanac to explain unit abilities
-
Updating beginning levels and bonus levels to explain confusing features
-
Building characterization and lore for each unit and the game as a whole
Creating a Narrative
Serving as the narrative designer for "Aliens Want Our Mascot?!", I built connections between the characters, creating personalities, friendships, and backstories. Then, I used this information to generate almanac entries for each unit. These entries served to simultaneously tell the player about the individual unit and offer hints about the world as a whole.
