Anxiety Duel

Game created for InKUbator Game Jam 2025 at Kingston University with theme "Automation Anxiety" created in 72 hours. I competed in this game jam as a solo team and managed to win Best Solo Project and got Second Overall even compared against other teams made up of Master students.

In this project I developed my project management and time management skills, as I created a fully completed game in the duration of the jam. I managed to achieve everything I set out to do and also added extra features. 

The game consists of a duel between you and "Brian", the robot. You will compete against him to a Data Entry task - entering tracking number of packages. During the game you will gain anxiety depending on whether you ahead or behind; this anxiety can be used to get upgrades or use abilities. Upgrades include using stress ball, taking notes and exercising; these give boost to your productivity by making the player faster and assisting him. You can also decide to take a run to temporarily stun Brian, as this makes him malfunction. In the middle of the game Brian will send out "minibots" to distract the player and slow them down.

All assets and sounds used are not created by me.
Some images and sounds have been created using AI.
To create the images I used Photoshop AI and ChatGPT.
Instead for generating sounds ElvenLabs was used.
Additionally, to generate the robot 3D model, Meshy was used, and Mixamo was used to get the animations for it.
