Artist and Developer
Hi, I'm Valeska! I'm a junior majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Urban Planning. I primarily worked as an artist for this game, creating assets like the title screen, cutscenes, and enemy sprites. I'm passionate about blending code with artistic creativity, so getting to build a game in Unity this semester was truly a dream come true. I'm excited to keep growing my game development skills beyond this class, but learning Unity, coding in C#, and collaborating with such a talented team has given me a solid foundation for the future.
Hey! I'm Peter, a sophomore at Tufts studying computer science. I made the original slingshot mechanic in the first few weeks, the enemy pathfinding to crops, the wave progress bar, and numerous other bugs that came up along the way. I've really enjoyed learning Unity and programming in C#. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, hanging out with friends, solving Rubik's cubes, and programming something new. I also made this site!
