The Lost Caves

The 3-Day Sprint
Game jams are the ultimate test of rapid prototyping and teamwork. Working alongside 3 talented logic designers and 4 incredibly skilled 3D artists, my focus was on supporting the team effort through Blueprint scripting and engine mechanics. It was a highly collaborative experience where everyone pitched in to map the stunning ancient aesthetic of the Sassi di Matera into the engine and build a cohesive, playable prototype.
