My Virtual Barbarian

A small virtual pet game about caring for a little barbarian. Look after your tiny warrior by satisfying his thirst, hunger and savage blood lust.

This project was inspired by an Indie Game Clinic YouTube video about the three beginner projects that he would set for first-year Game Design students. This is my attempt at the first game he recommended.

The brief set out the following design requirements:

• Create a virtual pet
• The virtual pet has to have three needs
• Create three interactions to feed those needs
• Create visual states that reflects the needs and interactions
• Monochrome art style
• Try to subvert the genre
