Paranoid Pugs is a 2D Top-down Stealth Thriller game. Play as a little mischievous Pug who broke into a house to steal cookies. But unbeknownst to it, there was a lurking danger in the shadows. Escape the house after stealing all the cookies whilst avoiding detection. Let the paranoia begin.
My Contributions
Paranoid Pugs was the first ever game that I created. I was the Producer and QA along with the UI Artist, and some Sound Design.
Reflecting on UI & Sound Design
Looking back, a lot of things could have been done better. The UI art choices of color did stand out against the background, but was too vibrant for a thriller game. Furthermore, there is not a lot of thematic aspects to the UI which makes it really dull and wrecks with the feeling of a thriller game.
The Sound Design could have more tension and build up especially at scary moments. It was lacking a lot of atmospheric sounds as well.
Working on my first ever game, I had a shock as to what went into game development, the design thought processes and the amount of details that is required from a game designer. I learnt a lot, and was hungry to improve further.
