ProblemScape
An algebra role playing game for middle school students. The goal of this game is to provide students, especially those struggling with math, a fun and immersive way to learn algebra. My roles in this project are: creative director, programmer, and music composer.
Map Design: Concept Art
The images below showcase my concept design of the game’s map. The colored lines depict a distance/time correlation for different paths.
Our developers referred to these specs to create the map.
Programming: Teachpad
I worked on a feature called the Teachpad, where the player instructs an NPC how to solve an expression
Taking in player instruction on how to solve the expression
Step-by-step evaluation of the expression based on player instructions
Music: The Soundtrack
Here’s some of my favorites from the soundtrack I created for Problemscape
ProblemScape: Central Arithma
This track plays in the central hub of Arithma, which is a busy village filled with wandering NPCs and shops.
ProblemScape: To the Lenser!
This track plays in the outskirts of Arithma, which is a barren canyon. The player will solve puzzles to cross the gaps between plateaus.
ProblemScape: Paintball with a PiRat
This track plays during a boss battle, where the player has to defeat a PiRat
ProblemScape: Healer’s Hamlet
This track plays in a peaceful grassy plains that surrounds a simple hamlet.
