Hello there! My name is Daragh and I am a 2nd year Game Design student. Over the coming months myself and my teammate Mike will be working on a game for college.

Our task this week was to come up with a prototype for a game with the focus being "controls".

One idea we came up with was a business management style game which is what my first week prototype is based upon. For the style I went for a Windows XP style aesthetic. The gist of the game is that the player must navigate through different windows and tabs with the objective of making money through stocks, meetings etc. During this the player will have to manage their screen space by choosing when to close windows and moving them around by dragging and dropping. The game would feature things like pop-ups and viruses to make the game more challenging.

Unfortunately the prototype is not as developed as I would have hoped it would be due to struggles I had with the UI scaling in Unity. However I think the control scheme works as I invisioned.

Attached is a brief video demonstrating the controls.

Next week I will be working on a new prototype for a different game concept, so stay tuned and feel free to give me feedback.
