At Trippy Hike
Began April 1, 2020
Finding its origins in a C++ prototype, I took the game's core concepts and adapted them to a full size mobile game written in Swift for the iOS platform. The full game not only includes the fleshed out game derived from said prototype, but also possess an in-game cosmetics store and integration into Apple services like Game Center, In-App Purchases, and more making the game truly native.
