(val)iant, or val's guide to having a broken vag
(val)iant is a browser-based narrative game, directed by USC Games MFA student Kaitlin 'KB' Bonfiglio. It follows Val, a nonbinary college student, and focuses on their relationship with sex and their body, as well as more general issues related to vaginal health.
Role(s): Unity Programmer
I located and addressed bugs in gameplay to ensure a smooth player experience, such as issues with the pause menu or differences between sprite appearance in Windows/Mac versus WebGL builds.Â
I also redesigned game systems, such as dynamic buttons for a scene with multiple dialogue options, and credits navigation.
Finally, I created a Javascript plugin for opening links from the WebGL build, facilitating user access to vaginal health resources.
