Bloodtech Beyond

Fast paced multiplayer FPS prototype

Overview

Bloodtech Beyond is a fast-paced FPS shooter concept inspired by games like Titanfall 2, Halo 5 and Overwatch. The game was designed to deliver exciting mobility and aerial combats through a jetpack mechanic.

As part of my graduate industry project, our team created a prototype through iterative and agile game design. This prototype is meant to explore the core movement mechanics enabled by a jetpack. Additionally, The purpose of this project was to affirm the feasibility of the concept prior to making substantial business decisions, including the expansion of the development team.
