Our second thesis game, and our final game as students in the College of Saint Benilde. Into The Light is to me, the summary of everything me and my team have gone through since we all formed our team.
Having already familiarized myself with using Unreal Engine 4, this project went smoother than Ragnarok Protocol. This allowed me to make much more complex mechanics and AI. Due to the extensive amounts of mechanics featured in the game along with the general difficulty of getting action games right, this game was a huge undertaking.
This time around I served as the lead programmer, in charge of making sure everything was going smoothly code wise. I worked very closely with Alson, the other programmer on our team, and Paul, the lead game designer, to ensure that we were all in the same page when it came to implementing mechanics.
The game itself is much more cinematic than our previous game, having full voice acting in both gameplay and cutscenes. This time however I only served as the script editor when it came to the story, but I once again did the voice directing for our voice actors. I also once again played minor roles in our game.
All in all I am very proud of what my team accomplished this time around. We were able to address a lot of the problems we had with our previous games and at the same time elevated all of our skills. Despite being the most tiring development experience I've had so far, this has been a very enlightening learning experience. It was nice to see that our efforts payed off. I will never forget my time being a member of GoaTo Interactive and I wish all of my team mates well as we now embark on our journey into the game industry.

Stay tuned! I'll be adding more posts to talk more in depth about the mechanics and AI that I worked on for this game.
