Roles & Responsibilities

  • Sole Developer
  • Release in 2 Weeks
  • Mouse Only Gameplay
  • Right & Left Hand Gameplay

Research Summary

Ballista was a solo project, and the development time was only two weeks. I focused heavily on rapid prototyping and the agile methodology was used during development. With the goal of single hand gameplay, I conducted research on control settings. Button mapping is one of the most used accessibility settings in video games. Allowing the player to switch the mouse controls increases accessibility for left-handed players.
