Robbits

4v1 Game about Cute Sleight of Hand

2025

A 4v1 game where 4 "robbits" (robber rabbits) try to steal relics while a guard is trying to catch them. The robbits have controllers as their input while the guard uses an eye-tracker.

Development Time: 2.5 weeks

Team: 5 people (me and four other students at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center)

Objective: Build a game for ETC festival (aiming for throughput)

My Highlights

Initiated the project concept and collaboratively designed core gameplay loop of strategic stealing and observing.
Improved the design of interest curve and player feedback systems, including visual and audio feedback as well as guidance, insuring gameplay clarity.
As the producer, organized tasks and meetings, as well as streamlining communication between art and programming.
Stepped in to clarify goals and facilitate discussion when creative disagreements and conflicts arose, re-aligning the team around agreed-upon priorities and allowing production to continue without delays.
