Goodnight, Lily

Goodnight, Lily is a 2D horror platformer created by Something Edgy, and published on Steam. We made Goodnight, Lily for our GAM 200 and GAM 250 classes as a part of our degree program at DigiPen: Institute of Technology.

I joined Something Edgy in the middle of production and went to work in the completely unfamiliar custom engine to add menu functionality. Initially, I got a quick main menu up and working with some quick-and-dirty art assets for the buttons, and much of the rest of my time spent on this project was spent updating and adding new functionality to these menus, such as submenus, options, and the credits button.
