Our First Kiss

…is an arcade alternative-controller queer game where two players on a date at the movies must wordlessly communicate in order to time their first kiss while under the gaze and scrutiny of the rest of the audience.

Contribution

I joined Aubrey’s team as a programmer. During the pre-production phase, the team brainstormed an idea to connect the game with a Twitch stream to receive audience reactions through chat. I programmed the Unity-Twitch interaction where Unity would read the Twitch chat emote and sends out emojis in the game accordingly for the players to see. Due to the constrain of COVID, I worked remotely with Aubrey to debug our alternative controller (the lips) which was built using Arduino Uno. Lastly, I implemented the sound system to help our sound designer put all the sounds in place.
