Noodles videogame
Your friend Bouba is working over-time again, but it's not any job she enjoys doing. Who would, though. Making Word templates for clients who prefer low-cost office solutions over fresh and creative designs is not exactly the glamorous life one would imagine for a designer trying to make a living in Berlin.
A small comfort would be to make her some noodles, but without any money on hand getting the ingredients *could* get a little bit less straightforward than usual.
You should sleep on it.

background
Over the years I’ve dabbled with coding (from basic HTML and Flash Actionscript, to Gamemaker’s GML), but had never completed a videogame on my own. After working in Unity for the first time during the development of Sentree, I decided to become more familiar with the engine and started teaching myself C#. One thing led to another and Noodles is the result. It’s a simple videogame and an ode to my time in Berlin and the lasting friendships I have made there.
The game was nominated for Best Indie at A MAZE. Berlin in 2017.
The goal of the game evolved out of a simple pickup mechanic: you must collect 5 ingredients to make a bowl of noodles and deliver them to your friend, Bouba. Together with some tools to whack your fellow denizens, as well as a typing mechanic to make your dreams and wishes come true, you must navigate the real and the dream world to complete your mission.
