Escape Room Design and Prototypes

Photo of the prototype of the Trojan Horse Maze Puzzle from the Escape Room design. It is made out of primarily cardboard and hot glue. It has four ropes attached to pulleys—one on each corner of a tilt table elevated off the ground by the ropes, which hang from cardboard bars over the tilt table. The tilt table has a simple maze on it. Inside one corner of the maze is a toy cardboard cart with a head in the shape of a horse.

Monarchs of the Mountain Interactive GOAP System

Screenshot of Monarchs of the Mountain. This has a 3D play space (with a HUD in front of it) with four levels surrounded by rocks arranged to look like a mountain island floating over lava. It is dramatically lit in warm colors. There is fire on top of raised platforms on the sides of the first three levels and showing through a walled off section on the highest level. There is a large floating rock in the middle of each of the lower two levels. There is also a fire monster character leaping towards the fire on the raised platform at the right of the lowest level. In the upper and lower right hand corners of the HUD are scrollable sections with information about the current character and the current character’s plan, respectively. The left of the HUD has various controls for changing the view, what characters are spawned/despawned, the presence of moving obstacles, and pausing/quitting the game.
