Game: PEST: Invasion mobile AR game / iOS only
Role: Game Designer
PEST: Invasion is a mobile, AR top down shooter. Battle endless waves of hungry PESTS and protect your cupcake from harm. Each cupcake Has unique stats and abilities to help you defend them. Leveling up allows access to more weapons + ultimate abilities you can equip before each wave starts. The team size went between 3 to 6 people at any given time and took around 5 months to complete. While having worked in AR previously this was the first official game launched by us in that medium.
PEST: Invasion was based on our studios very first game PEST Begins! which was also a top down shooter but 2D and not AR. This game was made and launched in 2012 by myself and one other who has remained co-director with myself on most projects since. This project opened the door for XPETs and enabled our studio to open our gaming division, which soon became our main focus. PEST Begins! was a very short project, roughly 3 months of side work. The music was also created internally. The released version had 5 playable levels with about 5 more never released.
