Exstasis - The Coming of Diego Bertie

Exstasis is the working title of a game developed by myself and a group of friends. The team consisted of seven members: two programmers (including myself), three artists/modellers and two designers.

The game itself is a short interactive story about a group of escaped mental patients trapped in the Andes awaiting rescue from obscure Peruvian soap star Diego Bertie.

Primary responsibilities include the design and implementation of the interactive dialogue system and associated editor (developed in C#). Some of my other responsibilities include design participation of critical sub-systems and implementation of NPCs, collision, user input, world map, cinematic cameras and overall system maintenance.

Development of Exstasis is ongoing. We plan to improve both gameplay and visual aesthetics.
