Integrated Hardware is a 3D exploration game. You take on the role of an AI system onboard a space station activated after an unknown event damaged the station. Integrated Hardware is a single-player, 3D puzzle and narrative game, you unlock upgrades to access and traverse around the station and uncover the events of what happened onboard.
For this project, I chose to explore "How can I convey a non-linear narrative using environmental storytelling and inform gameplay using visual techniques utilizing my knowledge of level and game design.” My main focus was on creating a narrative told through the environment of my game world and informing the player on what they can do through through visuals and not dialogue.
I am grateful for the experience of solo developing this project, gaining lots of insight and skills into the development process; and learning my weaknesses and strengths.
