Keep The Light On

A short team-developed puzzle game for which I implemented all game code using visual assets created by teammates.

01 · Overview

Project overview

Keep The Light On is a compact team-developed puzzle release. I was the Sole Programmer and handled all programming.

Other team members created the visual assets, which I integrated into the playable implementation.

02 · My role

Implemented all game code as the project’s Sole Programmer.
Programmed movement, sprint and stamina, microphone-driven speaking and blowing input, and candle, wind, and light-radius behaviour.
Implemented enemy patrol and chase behaviour, hiding, puzzle sequences, and ScriptableObject-backed scene and puzzle state.
Integrated art assets created by teammates into the delivered Windows build.

Project scope

Movement, stamina, microphone input, reactive light behaviour, enemy patrol and chase, hiding, and environmental puzzles.
Short-form puzzle gameplay packaged as a downloadable Windows release with teammate-created art.

Team context

Project roles and team-created work are listed alongside my individual contribution.

Role: Sole Programmer. I implemented all game code.

03 · Delivery notes

A concise summary of the project’s decisions, constraints, testing, outcome, and next steps.

Design decision

Speaking and blowing thresholds connect microphone input to candle, wind, and light-radius behaviour.

ScriptableObjects carry puzzle and scene state across the compact game flow.

Constraint and response

Used speaking and blowing thresholds to drive candle, wind, and light-radius changes.

Testing and outcome

The final implementation was packaged and released as a downloadable Windows build.

The project is publicly available as a released Windows puzzle build.

Reflection and next step

How to integrate teammate-created visual assets while retaining responsibility for the complete game implementation.
Add gameplay screenshots and a short programming retrospective.
