What's unique about this game is that there are 3 different genres within the game that all play into the overall narrative. Play as a criminal trying to evade the law by tampering with the crime evidence. The game is divided into 3 parts: the tampering, alibi, and lying phase. If all phases are completed correctly, you get a way Scott free! If not, jail time will be in your future.
I served as the producer, lead programmer, and UI artist during the jam. I programmed the tampering and lying phases, custom animated the title screen and all cutscenes, and facilitated team meetings to ensure progress throughout the development period.

Up to 4-player multiplayer networking

During the 2023 Fall Semester I created a custom game engine for the Game Engines course at North Carolina State University. The engine was created using C++ for the source code, SFML for rendering, and ZeroMQ's Networking library.
The engine includes custom game objects using an Object-Centric Model design, working multiplayer using the Client-Server networking architecture incorporating both the Pub-Sub and Req-Rep Model, and a timeline system that allows for objects to run on a global/local timeline, real time, and frame time. To showcase the engine's functionality I created the Pong arcade game and a Maze game.
