Subtormentum

Subtormentum

/səb torˈmen.tum/ n.

Latin meaning “Under Pressure”

My 3 years of taking Latin in high school had its benefits. 

We took inspiration from Space Shooters like Galaga, but our twist was putting it in deep ocean water instead of space.

This was my first ever personal project that had to be made with other people. Up till this point I had only ever done smaller projects here or there, so there were growing pains in doing version control with others for the the first time. This also was done in a 72 hour game jam format, leaving little time to fret over exact design elements.

Due to this fact, I had a lot of say, probably more than I should have over the whole project. This also was an entry level course for the game design program, and the only other game design student on my team was only going for a minor in the program. This lent me more ethos in my decisions then there should’ve been, but we also were only sophomores in our Fall semester.
