Personal project · My first proper game

Goosing Around

The first proper game I made in high school, for other people in class to play. It’s also where I started learning Blender.

A game for people in class

I’d been making Scratch games since primary school and started learning Unity around Year 7 or 8. Goosing Around was my first proper game in high school, made so other people in class could play it.

It was a silly game, and I spent a lot of time adding different levels and working on the mechanics. Having people around who could actually play what I was making was a big part of the appeal.

Learning to make the assets myself

I made the models while I was learning Blender. They’re some of my earliest attempts at 3D, and you can see that when you look at the game now.

The code was pretty tangled too. I was figuring everything out as I went, and I spent a lot of time on it because I was having fun.
