A few months ago, as part of the Game Design degree program at Full Sail University, we were asked to create a pitch for a game that we would be creating during the capstone project during the last 5 months of school. These pitches went through a green-light process conducted by a panel of…

Galaxy Warrior was done for the Programming Foundations II course at Full Sail University. This was one of my favorite courses I’ve taken so far, not only did I learn about programming but I was allowed to show some of my design skill along the way. It can be played by selecting this link…
