Personal Thoughts:

Heist Noir was made during my Year In Industry at Twinkl Ltd during which I learned how to use Unity to develop Educational Augmented Reality Games aimed at KS1 and KS2 Children.

As such it was my first (and currently only) time using Unity for a game jam so there's quite a few rough edges. However there's still a lot I'm proud of for this project. I think we had quite a lot of interesting ideas for gameplay. The tradeoff between taking vases to the end of the level and using them to take out turrets/enemies is interesting and the visual style of the game is very striking but still communicates all the necessary information to the player.

Shoutouts to Calvin who did an incredible job with the music for this one.
