Precariously Presidential

Precariously Presidential is an interactive, character-driven experience that has the player learn more about the events that led to them becoming president of a fictitious nation as the game progresses. Along the way, the player must manage both the nation (in terms of important relationships and funds) and their mental health in order to succeed.

This game was created in ~3 weeks as a serious project for an introductory game design/development course. Although it was completed as a group project, Precariously Presidential was largely my brain child. My group members were incredibly valuable throughout the entire process, but the majority of the writing and programming workload fell on my shoulders while I delegated the rest of the work to those in my group who were best suited to accomplished specific goals (art, procedural writing, editing, styling, etc.) in order to see the game finished on time. Here, the unofficial role of director/leader was not one I grabbed out of a need to control things, but a role that I assumed simply out of the necessity to deliver a product in a timely-manner that was complete, concise, and something we could be truly proud of.
