My name is Emmie and I created Ascend as part of my game and website development project. I enjoy creating games and experimenting with different design styles, mechanics, and visual themes. Ascend was designed as a cave-themed platform game that challenges players through hazards, platforming, and level progression.
Throughout the development process, I improved my skills in C# programming, problem-solving, game design, and website development. I also learned how to structure a website effectively, create immersive visuals, and design content suitable for a gaming audience.
~ C# Windows Forms programming
~ Collision detection systems
~ Website design using HTML and CSS
~ Image editing and optimisation
~ User interface design
~ Problem-solving and debugging
The development of Ascend involved creating gameplay mechanics, designing levels, testing hazards, and improving the overall visual style. The website was created to promote the game and showcase the development process through screenshots, assets, and gameplay explanations.
