Brief: Action West London wanted to engage their customers with a ‘serious game’ relating to the job hunt. The application needed to be created on Unity and would need to be accessible to a wide range of people.

Response: Working with one of my lecturers, we decided to focus on a 2D mobile game so that anyone with a smartphone could use it. We would need to cover all parts of the job application process including sending emails, preparing for interviews and ultimately, participating in a mock interview. Alongside one of peers, we took the visuals I created and developed it into a fully-functioning application in Unity.
