Immuno-Defender

Immuno-Defender Teaser

This project was the focus of my MSIS thesis at the University of Pittsburgh, and I am currently seeking funding and feedback to continue its development. You can read the full thesis here.

I’d love for you to playtest the game and share your feedback! Please contact me to get a build for Mac or Windows (possibly Linux). You can email me or DM me on Discord.

My Design and Development Process

The project underwent numerous iterations and prototypes before I began developing the final vertical slice. The video below showcases the game’s evolution through these various stages of development.

Controls

Below are the controls of the game here for your reference.

Mixed-Methods Evaluation

You can read my thesis, Mixed Methods Evaluation of Immuno-Defender’s Player Experience and Learning Outcomes to learn how I designed, developed, and then applied user research to evaluate the game’s experience and learning objectives.
