An educational virtual tabletop game, based on trivia questions meant to teach more about Jamaica.

Aimed mostly at young Jamaican kids to learn more about their country, developed for Miramorai Interactive Learning Studios. Since we were using a free license of Unity 4, a lot of the challenges were due to feature limitations; mostly regarding map navigation.

Here we can see the first gameplay mechanic that I developed being tested, the dice roll.
Here we can see the movement system being tested for the first few times, it uses a series of main navigation points and smoothing intermediate points to tween the movement a little better. This had to be done because on the free version of Unity 4 there were no navmeshes.
Here we can see a little preview of the editor tools I had to write to make it possible to create the navigation nodes.
