General
Cardboard Battle Tanks: Desk Division is an upcoming multiplayer party game for PC.
Points of Interest
- Simple, Chaotic, and Fun Gameplay — With only two controls (move and shoot) the game is easy for anyone to pick up and play. However, taking into account the ricocheting nature of bullets and the many strategies and playstyles made viable through the tank customization options, there is no shortage of opportunities for player skill expression.
- Colorful Miniaturized World — The visual design of the tanks, weapons, and environments all hearken to a lighthearted craft project by being composed of common office supplies: construction paper, pencils, staplers, glue, paper clips, thumbtacks, and not least cardboard.
- Multiple Maps and Modes — A selection of diverse maps combined with gamemodes such as Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Team Deathmatch, and more ensure matches remain fresh and interesting to players.
Responsibilities
From October 2022 to May 2024, I worked for Slap Stag LLC to develop Cardboard Battle Tanks. The programming side of the project was already well covered, so I elected to focus on non-programming duties including:
- 3D modeling & texturing
- Level design, greyboxing/prototyping, & testing
- Gameplay balancing
- UI Design
