Sepia is an idle game, developed in Unity with a colleague at the University of Suffolk as a method of investigating the idle / incremental genre. The first version was developed with a student over the course of a summer. When I joined the project, I took on responsibility for all programming and re-wrote the majority of systems from scratch. The game is designed to leverage a number of psychological hooks that would be suitable for monetisation. It features small procedural systems to generate planet names and randomise space backgrounds, driven by developed art assets.
