We designed and developed GeoBlade, a 3D third-person action-adventure game, with the goal of learning and making use of industry standard tools and techniques to craft a memorable, interactive experience in which audio plays an integral role. The game blends melee combat and puzzle-solving gameplay in a narratively rich, location-driven story. It was developed in Unity and makes heavy use of Wwise Audio Engine and Houdini Engine. We conducted two rounds of user testing and gathered feedback from 36 playtesters which helped to further refine the gameplay experience.
