Space Between Beats was a 24h game jam game completed along side Liam Cunneen and Cynthia Woods.
The prompt for the game was “Space Opera”, “Lost Love” and “Don’t stop moving”. We spent a few minutes coming up with an idea, but ultimately agreed that a rythm game would be the best option for us.

I was the dedicated programmer for this task, a step away from my usual designer role. I created an internal ‘map making’ system, allowing Cynthia to assign different buttons to different beats in the track. Liam worked on the art and music, creating some awesome animations and story for the game in a short timeframe.

During this task, I increased my skills in C# even further, and learnt a lot about unity’s coroutines and other asynchronous operations. These skills have continued to be instrumental in my prototyping projects. The short deadline also helped me learn to work quickly and efficiently, iterating on my work as fast as possible.

If you’d like to try the game out, you can play it on your web browser through our itch.io page!
