Project Introduction
Dose of Decay was a group project that I had the opportunity to work on during my time at Staffordshire University. This project took place during a module called Collaborative Games Development, which involved a team made up of soon-to-be graduates and second-year students. The soon-to-be graduates were designated the seniors of the project, within an industry-style hierarchy to make the game.

Project Reflection
Overall, this experience was amazing as I was able to gain leadership experience, improve my verbal and written communication, and also learn aspects of project management. Even though the project had 9 weeks of production, what the team achieved within that period of time was a polished vertical slice with amazing in-house assets and animations.
We also managed to win an award for "Best Team Project" at GameBridge in June 2025.
