Summer Break - Cosigners Update - My work on guard perception

Co-Signers underwent a lot of changes during the summer. Once of the first issues we had to address was the gameplay issues.

One of the biggest issues with the thief gameplay was the absence of a 'Seen' state. We played a bunch of stealth based games to finally come up with the system as given below.

It also seemed the hacker gameplay was lacking fun. We overhauled the hacker mechanic with the hex grid system which will also have some puzzle elements to it.

I mainly worked on the guard perception. We needed the guard to have peripheral vision as well as normal vision. Nikhil pointed out a method by which we can do that. I was tasked to implement it. My implementation details are shown in the video.

Summer Break - Cricket Action!

The summer of 2013 was a very eventful time for me.

I worked on my thesis game, 'Co-Signers' and also was involved in activities of the Indian Student Association. I was the sports secretary and was also involved in arranging for hosting and pickup for new Indian students who joined the University of Utah for Fall 2013. I was the organizer of the prestigious ISA cricket cup too. It was covered in the news by the Salt Lake Tribune. My comments are also featured in the article!!
