Ball Life

Ball-Life is my final major project (solo project) for experimental games. This game focuses on the life of a footballer. It's experimental as it shows how pressure from family, fans, and the various difficulties of football can affect how a player can perform. This piece raises awareness of tribalism in sport and competitiveness and how that can affect a footballer's environment. This work was graded a B (65%).

The responsibilities of this project were:

To provide an experimental way to show the experience of a footballer.

Ensure the aesthetic of this game is communicated not only via mechanics but visuals, sound and dialogue.

Make every interaction rely on one core system (in this case, pressure).

Researching various subjects and relating personal thoughts about a topic to a game creating a fresh and unique experience.
