About:
Play as a hacker and help your non-playable companion through The Gallery by disabling the traps in their environment using the puzzles in yours.
System Override is a single player heist game developed in Unreal Engine 4 for PC and VR platforms. Learn your role as a hacker to clear a route through the variety of traps that block your agent on the field. It requires a mix of careful planning and quick thinking as you look through security cameras to disable hazards, like laser tripwires and robotics, in a timely manner.
Succeed and gain a national treasure that’s just the right height to balance your wobbly desk. However, if the agent gets caught, the gig is up.
Development:
Early in the project, I assumed a leadership role within our team. We operated within a studio environment, adopting a hybrid work schedule of 9-5, spending two days in person and one day online per week. Our development cycle was grounded in an agile workflow, conducting daily scrums.
System Override presented a new challenge to me as a designer because of its dual nature as a desktop game with a VR port. Great care had to be given throughout development to make a game that would be easily compatible with VR and enjoyable in both forms of interaction.
System Override was showcased at various events such as PAX Aus 2023, SXSW Sydney 2023, and Oz-Comicon Sydney 2023.
