This project was developed over 6 weeks within a group of 19 students for 2023’s Collaborative Game Development module. As it was my second time doing CGD, I was a Senior and had additional responsibilities during the project. At the halfway point of the project, we got peer feedback from other students and vital feedback from Rockstar Games when we presented the project to them.

I was responsible for The Technical and Programming side of the project, Managing and assigning tasks to juniors and creating:

• Complete game loop
