This a selection of projects made in Bennett Foddy's class Prototype Studio at the NYU Game Center.
One game a week, over the course of a semester we created small Prototypes with different prompts.
You
.promt: a game with words as objects
My first experience of getting hurt and writing shaders.
Sacrifice
.prompt: make a game that you hate
A game about multitasking and killing things with annoying sounds.
Memories
.promt: a game based on someone else's idea
A simple and meditative pattern recognition exercise.
Seeds
.promt: a game about the permanent and emphemeral
Seeds is a turn based massive offline local multiplayer game about a society, collectively competing to reach a higher goal.
Some players have to lay the ground work, they will not have any more agency later on but their efforts will grow and help following generations.
Cleanup
.promt: make a game with found assets
We were given a "trash can" full of random 3D objects, pictures, sounds, texts and other assets and had to make a game out of it.
So naturally I accumulated the random things to a game where you are controlling a flock of fish to clean up a golden toilet from dirty jewelery.
Anchor
.personal promt: make a game that is "dad-core"
This personal promt was probably assigned to me because most of my other projects were not targeted towards stereotypical dads.
So I thought of an activity that my father is enthusiastic about and came up with a game about anchoring a sailing boat.
