  • Gameplay
  • UI and audio
changedCreation of new mechanics : David is in charge, through code, of shaping the mechanics that make up the videogame. These mechanics are previously specified from the design team which explains to David how they want the player to interact with the different elements of the scenario so that David can recreate it in the most faithful way.
addedUI and Game Feel : On the other hand David is also in charge of building all the interface systems that we will see throughout the video game, from the pause and start menus, as all the indicators and icons that we will see throughout the extensive world of The Silent Swan . This task would not be complete without adding the "Game Feel", it is all those little details that help the player to have a more satisfying gaming experience, details such as the transition between the audio of the different areas of the game, the vibration of the controller at certain times and the different camera turns help the player to have a much more immersive experience.
