Wanted Killer VR is a fast paced shooter in which you move through the environment by teleport to the purple character outlines left behind by dead enemies. These do not only serve as points the player can move to, but also give the player the powerful weapon of the dead enemy. Ammo runs out quickly, so you have to constantly think about which enemy to kill to get into the best position and with the best weapon for the situation.

What I learned: Working within the company I had the opportunity to observe the requirements for managing teams efficiently and bringing a game to the market. By working together with a professional producer I could further my understanding of team organization methodologies required to work efficiently. I also had the opportunity to harness my tool programming skills, learning more about how to design tools to maximize usability and how to evaluate which functionalities will have the greatest impact.
